Some platforms require to write some code in LABELSECTOR on installboot,
but MD bounds_check_with_label() doesn't allow it unless RAW_PART
is specified.
(If RAW_PART is specified, bounds_check_with_label() is not called)

On news68k, I changed bounds_check_with_label() to skip
the check on securelevel == 0, but Christoph Badura suggested
me to use proper ioctl() to write data in LABELSECTOR.

I don't know what is the right solution, though.
