  1. Add support for little-endian byte order representation. 

    Although RFC4122 recommends network byte order for all fields, the PC industry (including the ACPI, UEFI, SMBIOS and Microsoft specifications) has consistently used little-endian byte encoding for the first three fields: time_low, time_mid, time_hi_and_version.
Example from SMBIOS spec, section 7.2.1 System - UUID
The UUID {00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF} would thus be represented as: 33 22 11 00 55 44 77 66 88 99 AA BB CC DD EE FF
