libdisk in XFS is not just partion table reading, but also fs type
detection and geometry information.  The first can now be replaced
by libblkid, and the latter is no my todo list to add to libblkid
(including support for Martin's io topology kernel patches).

Maybe addding partitions table reading and probing to libblkid
makes most sense?
