This is an easy fix.
David M. and I worked together to make sure that /sysfs did export a
whole_disk attribute for a full disk slices.
An ad-hoc udev rule change to skip creation/handling of those devices
will work just fine and it´s useful on all architecture (also for BSD
formatted block devices).
Could you write a patch against udev for this? Udev is kindof a black
magic thing for me. :)
