/**
* @defgroup sys_luid Locally Unique ID Generator
* @ingroup sys
* @brief Generate system wide (locally) unique IDs
*
* This module generates system wide, variable length unique IDs based on on the
* cpuid module. If the cpuid module is not present, the module falls back to a
* pre-defined, constant seed for creating unique IDs.
*
* The main purpose of this module is to have a unified way for e.g. creating
* hardware addresses and similar.
*
* The IDs generated by this module are base created from a constant base part
* and a dynamic portion, which is XORed into the base ID. If the cpuid module
* is present, the base ID is created from the CPU's unique ID. If not, the
* base ID is created by simple 'memsetting' the base ID with the defined
* backup seed value.
*
* Once the base ID is generated, a LUID is generated by (i) XORing a counter
* value with the LSB of the base ID, or (ii) by XORing the least significant
* byes with a value given by the user.
*
* Example: Calling `luid_base(&buf, 8)` will always yield an identical value,
* independent how often the function is called. But calling
* `luid_base(&buf, 2)` afterwards will results in a different value, if the
* cpuid module is present, and in the same (but shorter) value if not.
*
* Example: Calling `luid_get(&buf, 8)` four times in a row, will yield four
* different IDs, differing in their LSB.
*
* Example: Calling `luid_custom(&buf, 8, 123)` will always yield the same
* value, but calling `luid_custom(&buf, 8, 124)` will differ.
*
* @note This module generates locally unique IDs without any guarantees
* on their structure. These LUIDs are not compatible nor conform
* to UUIDs as defined in RFC4122.
