Reassigning to freebsd-geom.

Using partition labels is not currently possible without integration of
partition labels into the gpart module. The current mechanism that makes
labeled devices show up in /dev is unreliable, does not apply to all
partition schemes, and may not be present. There were experimental patches
from ae@ but unfortunately I do not believe they have been committed.
