I'm not sure adding this level of complexity (2nd dimension for stats)
and the numerous if (..) statements (or switch) is warranted when they
only apply for the get_stat() and get_typed_stat() functions. This
seems like a more complicated simplification :).

I added a note in the Documentation file that writing an int to any of
the stats should reset all. I don't get the point of introducing
another file for this and would want stats to be cleared all together
in order to have say io_service_time and io_serviced in sync, i.e.,
the io_service_time should always be the total service time for the
IOs accounted for in io_serviced.

Yeah we'd rather keep them separate.
