efi_guid_t is a 32-bit aligned guid_t, which is for the case when
efi_guid_t* arguments are 32-bit aligned. And it is for 32-bit ARM.
Since this code injection is only for 64-bit, the guid is not required
to be strictly 32-bit aligned I suppose?

The code injection depends on Kconfig 64-bit and is not supposed to work
on 32-bit AFAIK.

The guid information is embedded in each pfru_dev and only calculated
once during probe. I thought people try to avoid using global variables
if possible?

Ok. Would __u8 uuid[16] applicable? There are some examples in uapi headers.
