Upon reflection, I'm not convinced that sgivol needs to muck with the disklabel
at all.

If it's being used as a host tool, it won't be creating/accessing the
filesystem as seen from the BSD side of things,

If it's being used natively (i.e., during an install), it is used to make things
look correct from the ARCS point of view -- volume header and checksum.  It
won't be used to set up the actual filesystems -- they'll be created via
disklabel(8), and disklabel(5) handles the SGI<->BSD conversion.

To that end, I'm thinking that we should nuke the disklabel references
in sgivol.  That will result in rather portable code :)

Thoughts?
