I have never worked extensively in that code so my short answer is, "I
don't know."

We made a point of separating out the interface stuff such that it
doesn't include any other internal disksim headers which are really
messy and will often caused name/symbol clashes with other code.  You
probably need to #include some of these headers in order to reach that
far down into the data structures.

Another option might be to get it "out of band" somehow, e.g. read it
out of the parameter file yourself.
