So later I shall have to use virtually indexed arrays in blkio controller?
Or you are just using virtually indexed arrays for lookup speed and
I can continue to use css_lookup() and not worry about using virtually
indexed arrays.

So the idea is that when a page is allocated, also store the blk_group
id and once that page is submitted for writeback, we should be able
to associate it to right blkio group?
