Error report from cppcheck:
block/vdi.c:122: error: Using sizeof for array given as function argument returns the size of pointer.
block/vdi.c:128: error: Using sizeof for array given as function argument returns the size of pointer.

Fix both by setting the correct size.

The buggy code is only used when QEMU is build without uuid support.
The bug is not critical, so there is no urgent need to apply it to
old versions of QEMU.

Huh, I wouldn't have thought this was the case.  I almost feel that 
doing a #define UUID_SIZE may be better because sizeof(typeof(v)) != 
sizeof(v) is weird even by C standards.

Thanks, applied to the block branch.

I think typeof(uu) is actually unsigned char*, not unsigned char[16].
Strange semantics anyway...
