I think this is an improvement, but I agree that a real byte display would be much better. I actually worked on this a long time ago for a very similar feature that we never quite pushed over the finish line. See patches 11 and 12 here: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20111110074330.GA27925@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ (it might need some of the earlier refactoring, too, I'm not sure; and quite likely will need forward-porting as it has been 10 years). -Peff
