So, if I use RAIDframe over volumes that themselves have a "stripe size",
such as hardware RAID units, all my values in the disklabel need to be
shifted back down by 64 in order to fall on nice even stripe boundaries?

Given that 64K is a pretty common stripe size, but 64 _sectors_ is 32K,
doesn't this basically give worst-case misalignment for many underlying
devices?
