The HOWTO file sometimes has more information than the manpage, so
that's the first place to check.
To find the applicable source code, run:
grep rwmix *.[ch]
That shows that the io handling code in io_u.c is where decisions
are made based on that argument, particularly in the rate_ddir() and
get_rw_ddir() functions.
