Hi,
with 2.6.32-rc1 I started getting the following strange output from
"iostat -kx 2":

Global values for service time and utilization are garbage. For
interval values, utilization is always 100%, and service time is
higher than normal.

I bisected it down to:
[a9327cac440be4d8333bba975cbbf76045096275] Seperate read and write
statistics of in_flight requests
and verified that reverting just that commit indeed solves the issue
on 2.6.32-rc1.

My sysstat package is:
[corrado@et2 linux-2.6]$ rpm -qi sysstat
Name        : sysstat                      Relocations: (not relocatable)
