Libguestfs - Jan 2016 - [PATCHv2 2/3] New API: part_set_disk_guid_random.

Some OSes (e.g. Windows Server 2012 R2) fail to boot after virt-resize
due to changed disk guid. To fix it, we add new APIs:
part_get_disk_guid
part_set_disk_guid
part_set_disk_guid_random

We also preserve disk GUID in virt-resize.

Maxim Perevedentsev (3):
  New API: part_get_disk_guid and part_set_disk_guid.
  New API: part_set_disk_guid_random.
  resize: preserve GPT disk GUID.

Some OSes (e.g. Windows Server 2012 R2) fail to boot if the disk
GPT GUID has changed. To preserve disk guid e.g. during virt-resize,
we need a way to get/set disk GUIDs.

Changed disk GUID makes some OSes fail to boot.
To enable virt-resize to support such OSes we
have to preserve disk GUID.

This all looks fine to me.  I'll push this later on once I've run
some tests.

Thanks,
