   Disk and partition IDs (in whatever form they use) are mainly for the upper   
   level storage drivers to differentiate between them, since they don't   
   normally deal with storage controller and port numbers (which is a task for   
   the lower level driver).   
      
   Reserved sectors near start of the disk has been around since MBR disk   
   layout. In MBR, the reserved sector would be up to 62 sectors for disks   
   which are configured to use 63 sectors per side configuration.
