Record time spent by a task waiting for completion of userspace initiated synchronous block I/O. This can help
determine the right I/O priority for the task.

I think it's a good idea to have such a statistic by default.

Can you add a counter that is summed up in task_struct and reports
in /proc/*/stat so that it could be displayed by top?
Sure. That would make delayacct code simpler too since it could just read off from task_struct.

This way it would be useful even with "normal" user space.
Yes. Need to resolve the multiple entry point semantic...more in separate mail.
