Grrr, this is one design "feature" of BSD disklabels that I was hoping
might finally go away.  But it seems the GPT designers made the same
mistake :(

It's quite annoying to not be able to simply dd a partition without
having to fix up the offsets.  The GEOM container-like metaphor is very
nice but it sucks that the on-disk formats don't match.
