I disagree strongly with this idea. If we need a bsdlabel, it should be a
link to disklabel with the right argc magic. Changing it doesn't buy us
anything except a vague sense of pedantic consistency, but it costs us a
lot of POLA. Disk management is hard enough already without changing the
names of things that people are already familiar with.

In fact, I agree with your point about disklabel (et al) growing -m <ARCH>
capability, and from a consistency standpoint things like sunlabel should
be links to the new, improved diskabel as well; if we decide that they are
necessary to keep around.
