Demonstrations of bitehist.py, the Linux eBPF/bcc version.

This prints a power-of-2 histogram to show the block I/O size distribution.
A summary is printed after Ctrl-C is hit.

This output shows a bimodal distribution. The largest mod of 800 I/O were
between 128 and 255 Kbytes in size, and another mode of 211 I/O were between
4 and 7 Kbytes in size.

Understanding this distribution is useful for characterizing workloads and
understanding performance. The existence of this distribution is not visible
from averages alone.
