    overflow issues. (bsc#1027411)
    - Apply tuning technique of Netweaver in HANA profile too. (bsc#1016795)

    longer kept busy when idling. (bsc#1025824)
    - Start uuidd.socket as soon as the package is installed. (bsc#983454)
    - Control uuidd as a step of the tuning process. (bsc#983454)
