Maybe <machine/diskslice.h>.  Certainly not <sys/diskslice.h>, which is
supposed to be machine indepennent.  There are currently two machine-
dependent warts in <sys/diskslice.h>: it assumes that the function that
fills in the slice tables is named `dsinit()', and it has a machine-
dependent field ds_type, which can't be correctly handled without the
list of partition types.

Maybe there should a sys/foreignOS tree.  It could hold everything
for foreign OS's except file systems.
