Looks like linux iostat still can't report % io wait
cuz the kernel disk subsystem doesn't count "jiffies"
(ms or cycles or clock ticks or somesuch?) where
the cpu is idle and disk requests are outstanding.
Refer to man iostat and see also /proc/partitions.

I guess that await from (sysstat) iostat -x might
sorta kinda help one ferret out disk io bottlenecks?
But you'd need to do some baselining first?
