i had a similar idea, and i like your "converted" idea too. i was looking at struct disklabel itself, and while i realised we could probably abuse d_subtype to mark this? it seems to be entirely unused in our code base. however, disklabel fails at >2TiB for 512 byte sector, so i'm now thinking that fixing this doesn't really solve the problem for the future properly -- disklabel doesn't return a true label here anyway... so it seems that we should be retiring DIOCGDINFO usage as much as possible, rather than figuring out how to enhance it.. .mrg.
