You also need to make sure the data field is not smaller than 16 bytes.

	if (arg->field.field->size < 16) {
		trace_seq_puts(s, "INVALIDUUID");
		return;
	}

Hmm, I know print_mac_addr() does something similar as this, but this
is getting a bit extreme (too many arguments!). What about doing:

	for (i = 0; i < 4; i++)
		trace_seq_printf(s, "%02x", buf++);

	for (i = 0; i < 3; i++)
		trace_seq_printf(s, "-%02x%02x", buf[i * 2], buf[i * 2 + 1]);

	buf += 6;

	trace_seq_putc(s, '-');

	for (i = 0; i < 6; i++)
		trace_seq_printf(s, "%02x", buf++);



Hmm, not sure the above is better, but having that many arguments just
looks ugly to me.
