+Description:
+ Reports the number of I/O requests currently in progress
+ (pending / in flight) in a device driver. This can be less
+ than the number of requests queued in the block device queue.
+ The report contains 2 fields: one for read requests
+ and one for write requests.
+ The value type is unsigned int.
+ Cf. Documentation/block/stat.rst which contains a single value for
+ requests in flight.
+ This is related to nr_requests in Documentation/block/queue-sysfs.rst
+ and for SCSI device also its queue_depth.
