viostat does not report statistics for SSP LU backed VTD

Customer Raiffesen Schwez reported via PMR 08673,112,848 that iostat is not reporting statistics for SSP LU backing devices.
This is something they needed to debug an I/O performance issue.

We discussed this with Mike Cyr who thought this is not really a bug, but something we never implemented, but we could probably do so with some sizing and time allocated.

So we have told the customer that we will make every effort to get this working in a future release, and we are opening this RFE to get that done.

More info is available here:

There was also an email exchange between Mike Cyr and Alexandre Blancke/Aaron Honore discussing some of the details behind why this isn't working.
