no, the way I understood it is that the ioctl stuff is for driver code;
sysdisk(9) is unrelated. sysdisk(9) allows a subsystem that wants to
protect itself to do so, while the disk_ioctl() stuff is to (somewhat)
help driver authors.

yah, sysdisk(9) take struct vnode *, I thought about adding routines
that dev_t (and use vfinddev() to make it a struct vnode * internally).
