[sg]ethostid(3) and FHS

Hi!

/var/adm does not exist in FHS for quite some time, yet
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/gethostid.c still references (/var/adm/hostid),
which means gethostid and sethostid don't work for quite some time.
Any ideas on what's the best path to replace it with?
>From quick skimming of FHS 2.1 it looks like /var/lib/hostid or
/var/lib/misc/hostid could be ok...
