Very nice patch!

Jens, i'm wondering what's your take on this direction is. I think the
consolidation effect is great and the built-in IO tracing capabilities are
very nice.

We can still get the raw events too and do user-space post-processing,
when that is desired - so this does not limit anything that blktrace was
able to do before - it only extends on it.

Is there any particular blktrace feature you can think of that is not
present in the blktrace ftrace plugin?
