Update:

The kernel makes the information available at /proc/$$/io. However
"read_bytes" and "write_bytes" seems not to be accurate for mtd devices.

Poking around a bit in the kernel code makes me wonder if some
task_io_account_read(), task_io_account_write() at the right places
would make the accounting better?
