So, is HARDWARE/UUID supposed to be a physical host identifier or a 
global host identifier ?

In the first case, it should be unique among physical hosts only, 
virtual hosts should have same UUID than their physical host, and should 
change UUID when they are migrated to another physical host.

In the second case, it should be unique among all hosts (either physical 
or virtual), but what's the usefulness of additioanl virtual-machine 
specific HARDWARE/VMID identifier ?
