Re: [libvirt] [PATCH]: Export the 'label' on block devices

To support LVM partitioning in oVirt, one of the things we need is
the ability
to tell what kind of label is currently on a block device. Here, a 'label' is
used in the same sense that it is used in parted; namely, it defines which kind
of partition table is on the disk, whether it be DOS, LVM2, SUN, BSD, etc. Note
that this is different than the partition type; those are things like Linux,
FAT16, FAT32, etc.
Updated patch based on jim's feedback. I did not remove the pc98 type; if
everyone else thinks it's a good idea, I'll remove it, but it is part of the ABI
in some sense. Otherwise, I followed all of jim's suggestions.
