The patch below is a simple quick attempt at allowing the filesystem
UUID to be specified by the user at mkfs time. Googling around I've
seen a lot of people wishing they could "change their btrfs uuid".
I understand why that's not going to happen. But this little patch
seems like it could give them a control somewhat equivalent to what
they're seeking. It works for me anyway, so I thought I'd share it in
case it is upstream acceptable and useful to others.

Subject: [PATCH] Add optional 'uuid' parameter to mkfs.btrfs
Currently the code supports specifying a label, but not UUID. Since the
UUID of a btrfs filesystem can't be modified after the filesystem is made,
it is useful to support specifying the UUID when the filesystem is made.
