Description

A useful metric could be how many times each downstairs was "the first" to respond to
an IO request. Maybe even recording first/second/third, depending on the difficulty of gathering that
information at IO completion time.

Research direction

Start by locating the upstairs IO completion path and the code that tracks downstairs responses. Determine whether first, second, and third responders can be identified when an IO completes; done means recording per-downstairs completion statistics in a defined, useful form.
