I like the granularity idea.

And similarly from blk_io_account_done() - which makes it even worse,
since it at both ends of the IO chain.

But part_round_state_single is supposed to only call part_in_flight every
jiffery. Maybe we need something below:
1. set part->stamp immediately
2. fixed granularity
Untested though.

It'd be a good improvement, and one we should be able to do without screwing anything up. It'd be identical to anyone running at HZ==100 right now.

So the above we can easily do, and arguably should just do. We wont see real scaling in the IO stats path before we fixup the hd_struct referencing as well, however.
