Well, you can certainly backport the package. But beware that a simple
copy of package/iotop/ will most likely not work. Indeed between a
Buildroot of ~2013 (that you are using) and a Buildroot of 2015 (which
has iotop), we most likely made some changes in the package
infrastructure. So you will have to re-adapt iotop.mk.
Best regards,
Thomas
