Subject: [PATCH] Introduce block I/O performance histograms

This patch introduces performance histogram record keeping for block 
I/O, used for performance tuning.  It is turned off by default.

When turned on, you simply do something like:

# cat /sys/block/sda/read_request_histo
rows = bytes columns = ms
         10      20      50      100     200     500     1000    2000
    2048 5       0       0       0       0       0       0       0
