Public bug reported:

The Disk Setup module documents[1] a key called `device_aliases`,
however it does not seem to function and a quick grep of the code base
shows that there does not appear to be any code to support this key,
purely the documentation. There is `disk_aliases` key in the Azure and
SmartOS datasources which appears to serve a similar purpose, but is not
obviously intended for end-user use.

This feature would be really useful, so fixing the code to match the
documentation seems like it would be preferable to removing the the
documentation. With that said, updating documentation for historical
versions would be helpful, it would certainly have saved me personally a
whole bunch of time!

Cheers!
