I agree with the idea, but why not extend glabel instead? It's already
in GENERIC and I would (as an end-user) expect to find the support for
this mode of usage in it :)

This could lead to "interesting" situations - where a drive/slice has a
UFS label, a disk ID label and (if pushed...) a "native glabel" label.
