Good that you bring this up.

I don't think that there is any higher layer which could take care of
accounting. Usually, with raw nand there is no block layer involved
anyway.

In a quick test it seems that only when using wait_for_completion_io I/O
is properly accounted in the "wait" section of top.

So far only a single driver (omap2) used the _io variant, but I think it
is the right thing to do! After all, it is I/O...

Boris or any other MTD maintainer, any comment on this?
