Very interesting. When we added a per-tablespace random_page_cost,
there was a suggestion that we might want to add per-tablespace
effective_io_concurrency someday:
commit d86d51a95810caebcea587498068ff32fe28293e
Author: Robert Haas <rhaas@postgresql.org>

Support ALTER TABLESPACE name SET/RESET ( tablespace_options ).
This patch only supports seq_page_cost and random_page_cost as parameters,
but it provides the infrastructure to scalably support many more.
In particular, we may want to add support for effective_io_concurrency,
but I'm leaving that as future work for now.
Thanks to Tom Lane for design help and Alvaro Herrera for the review.
It seems that time has come.
