If it's not specific to __kernel_daddr_t nor daddr_t ("The type of a disk
address") and long is sufficient for all platforms, that's even better.

I'd be just for removing typedef int daddr_t comment.

BTW gpart also uses struct solaris_x86_slice, with daddr_t [1].
I've filed a PR [2], but I guess I'll change it to long.

Kind regards,
Petr
