Setting -uuid in the pnv machine does not work: ./qemu-system-ppc64 -machine powernv8,accel=tcg -uuid 7ff61ca1-a4a0-4bc1-944c-abd114a35e80 qemu-system-ppc64: error creating device tree: (fdt_property_string(fdt, "system-id", buf)): FDT_ERR_BADSTATE
This happens because we're using "fdt_property_string" to retrieve a "system-id" attribute that does not exist, instead of using fdt_setprop_string() to create a "system-id" attribute with the uuid provided via command line.
