One useful aggregate that can be calculated here is a standard
deviation. Something like

        util->acc_sq += value * incr * value * incr; /* sum of squares */

And in statistic_fdata_util() squared standard deviation is

        std_dev = util->acc_sq;
        /*
         * Difference of averaged square and squared average.
         */
        std_dev = do_div(std_dev, util->num) - whole * whole;
