I think the non-vinum stuff you are referring to is for
management of hardware RAID.

from dmesg:

ar0: 39190MB <ATA RAID0 array> [4996/255/63] status: READY subdisks:
 0 READY ad4: 19595MB <MAXTOR 6L020J1> [39813/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA133
 1 READY ad6: 19595MB <MAXTOR 6L020J1> [39813/16/63] at ata3-master UDMA133

--

%atacontrol status ar0
ar0: ATA RAID0 subdisks: ad4 ad6 status: READY

I just kinda guessed at this, so I'm hoping someone will
correct me if necessary!
