While the information may be useful, one thing that sounds very
important to me is how this impacts workloads by default.
Andres is usually able to catch bottlenecks that everybody else is
unable to see, so perhaps checking with him the location of these
extra function calls would be a good first step. Your proposal goes
down to pgaio_io_stage(), pgaio_io_process_completion() and
pgaio_submit_staged() to track these counter increments.
