There are per-vbd read and write stats under
/sys/<path-to-vbd>/statistics/{rd_req,wr_req}

Unfortunately these count requests rather than bytes served. This may be
what you want though, as #requests should be proportional to the number of
expensive disc operations (seeking and settling). Long contiguous requests
are not proportionally more expensive than short ones.
