Not particularly, although I don't see much advantage to sharing
the libkern objects/library...

Well, cpu_disklabel isn't used as far as I can tell.  We're just
getting it from including sys/disklabel.h.  If a separation can
be made between disklabel and cpu_disklabel, we wouldn't have this
problem, yet.  Should we have a machine/disklabel.h?  Should
sys/disklabel.h include it for backward compat., if so?  If not,
what's the gain, unless we do:
#ifndef LIBKERN
#include <machine/disklabel.h>
#endif
in sys/disklabel.h?

Yea!  Another bounce from tech-ports!  Should I take that address
off this thread, or be added to the approved posters list?  ;-)
