I'll add my "me too" to this. The _why_ is the same as for CPU limiting
- so we can treat these vservers like they don't have to know or care
about what other vservers do.

My context is this: one vserver runs a popular web site, and on another
one, occasionally I shift multi-gig files around, with cp. When I'm
doing that, the website vserver grinds to a halt - well, responds to
requests quite slowly anyway.

I'd like to be able to limit the amount of disk I/O the other vserver
could do, so I don't adversely affect the webserver.
