Born from the conversation on qemu-devel, this generation scheme uses the
format ultimately proposed by Kevin, after list discussion.
It attempts to keep the ID strings as small as possible, while fulfilling:
1.) Guarantee no collisions with a user-specified ID
2.) Identify the sub-system the ID belongs to
3.) Guarantee of uniqueness
4.) Spoiling predictibility, to avoid creating an assumption
of object ordering and parsing (i.e., we don't want users to think
they can guess the next ID based on prior behavior).
See patch 1 for the generation scheme details.
