OK, this seems to be a nice application of the new statistics layer.

I've added linux-scsi. I suspect this is somewhat of a big deal...
Could you please describe these metrics in more detail, so we can have a
better understanding of
- what they do
- what the dynamics are
- what the user interface is (eg: how does one read them, how does one reset
them, etc).
- what the overhead is (speed, space)
- Should it have been done at the block layer rather than at the scsi layer?

Doesn't blktrace do this too?

Patch mostly-included for reference below.
btw, we'd more typically put the #ifdef _outside_ the
scsi_stat_completion() implementation and provide a static inline stub if
!CONFIG_STATISTICS. But I guess in this modern gcc's will inline the
funtion and will then omit it all, so it's the same thing...
