I'm using bsdisks for a long time and have no problems with it. However,
tcberner was having busy-loop hangs, and I wasn't able to reproduce them
myself.

I'd say let's make a switch given that CI is green with bsdisks.

I was working on improving tests on FreeBSD long ago, but got distracted by
$WORK. It is sad to hear that things aren't improving. I'll try my best
again in near future.
