>Description:
When trying to serve a block device using vblade(d), the disk size is reported 
as 0 and the AoE device cannot be used. Also, larger devices cause the disk 
size calculation to overflow.

PS
The errors have also been reported to the aoetools-discuss mailing list
>How-To-Repeat:
vblade 0 0 gem0 /dev/wd0c
>Fix:
There's a (de)referencing error in the freebsd.c file. The easiest fix is to 
write the ioctl call as "ioctl(fd, DIOCGDINFO, &lab)" instead of "ioctl(fd, 
DIOCGDINFO, lab)"

In the same file, we need a cast to prevent an overflow:
"size = (vlong)lab.d_secsize * lab.d_secperunit"
