bd49784fd1 dm stats: report precise_timestamps and histogram in @stats_list output
If the user selected the precise_timestamps or histogram options, report
it in the @stats_list message output.

If the user didn't select these options, no extra tokens are reported,
thus it is backward compatible with old software that doesn't know about
precise timestamps and histogram.

fd2ed4d252 dm: add statistics support
Support the collection of I/O statistics on user-defined regions of
a DM device.  If no regions are defined no statistics are collected so
there isn't any performance impact.  Only bio-based DM devices are
currently supported.

Each user-defined region specifies a starting sector, length and step.
Individual statistics will be collected for each step-sized area within
the range specified.

The I/O statistics counters for each step-sized area of a region are
in the same format as /sys/block/*/stat or /proc/diskstats but extra
counters (12 and 13) are provided: total time spent reading and
writing in milliseconds.  All these counters may be accessed by sending
the @stats_print message to the appropriate DM device via dmsetup.

The creation of DM statistics will allocate memory via kmalloc or
fallback to using vmalloc space.  At most, 1/4 of the overall system
memory may be allocated by DM statistics.  The admin can see how much
memory is used by reading
/sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/stats_current_allocated_bytes

See Documentation/device-mapper/statistics.txt for more details.
