Perhaps are far as the "get size" interface raidframe uses is
concerned.  But it's not _just_ that; see my note upthread about how
the disk drivers treat RAW_PART.  And _nothing_ can be "just a
partition in the disklabel" when there isn't any disklabel.

Note also that using RAW_PART as raidframe members, for some kinds of
RAID and some kinds of label, runs the risk of the RAID pseudo-disk's
label being mistaken for the component disk's label.
