Since pblk registers its own block device, the iostat accounting is
not automatically done for us. Therefore, add the necessary
accounting logic to satisfy the iostat interface.

Ignorant question - why is it a raw block device, not using blk-mq?

The current flow is using the raw block device, together with the blk-mq nvme device driver. A bio is sent down to the nvme_nvm_submit_io() path in the /drivers/nvme/host/lightnvm.c file. From there it attaches the to NVMe blk-mq implementation.

Is there a better way to do it?

This seems to include unrelated changes, like the rename above and the
addition of the error logging?


Grah... I missed it during review. It should have been its own patch or part of the early refactor patches. Thanks for picking it up.
