Not sure this is a great idea. First of all, the poll stats are per hardware queue. How many submission queues and CPUs do you have in your setup? For most cases, I'd assume there'd be a 1:1 mapping between the two, which makes the stats essentially free. And secondly, even for a less optimal mapping, the poll stats are a lot cheaper than the io stats. So bundling them together might not make a ton of sense.
