Add possibility to make sequential IO "holed" For sequential IO, it is now possible to add a number of bytes to be skipped for every block read or written. Using: bs=8k rw=read:8k will first read 0k->8k, then 16k->24k, and so on. This skips 8k for every 'bs' sized block read. Similar for writes, doing bs=4k rw=write:4k will write 0k->4k, then 8k->12k, etc. End result being that every other block is written, in a sequential fashion.
