Like Arnd, my main concern was around naming, breaking boot setups, and
freaking people out by telling them that their cards have block devices
that they can't usually see and not making it obvious where they came
from.  :)

Your "b/g" postfix solution appears to fix all of these, so I like it.
We still have to think about where we expect users wondering what the
"b" and "g" mean to go in order to find out..

Thanks!
