Ah.. proc-events was the exact thing, I was looking for! Thanks. But it seems 
there is no documentation for it? May be I didn't search properly...

BTW I did mention the need for this, in 
http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/36451/ , but didn't invest time to write a 
good changelog here, as I suspected something exists already. Sorry. ;-(

[CC-ed iotop/top people, who were CC-ed in the above mail. So that they can 
consider using proc-events interface, if it was not considered/used already]

Thanks
Nikanth
