2.7.0 includes pdk/plugins/examples/io-device-plugin.xml, using pdk/scripts/device_iostat.pl wrapper to get metrics from iostat -x
This only works on Linux with 2.6+ kernels and iostat installed, but this could be auto-discovered to avoid creating the services by hand.
Should also explore support for other platforms.
