This test-case performs I/O with fio while doing PCI disable/enable
cycles.

In the results we don't care for I/O errors but for hiccups in dmesg only.
Let's get this in, that would be a very useful test. A few comments -
not necessarily on this patch in particular, but for future cleanups
and improvements.

I introduced this idea in one of my previous patches. I wonder if we
should turn that into a helper. Pass in the dev, get returned a
suitable fio size, instead of hard coding this in each job that
needs it.

I don't believe we check for fio errors right now, but we probably
should in the future. So I think you'd want to add something ala:

--ignore_error=EIO,ENXIO,ENODEV

to your options to make it explicit that you don't care about IO
errors for this test.
