[Qemu-block] [PULL 13/27] block/vpc: Don't take address of fields in packed structs

[Kevin Wolf]

From: Peter Maydell <address@hidden>

Taking the address of a field in a packed struct is a bad idea, because
it might not be actually aligned enough for that pointer type (and
thus cause a crash on dereference on some host architectures). Newer
versions of clang warn about this. Avoid the bug by generating the
UUID into a local variable which is definitely safely aligned and
then copying it into place.
