Track maximum bandwidth to each device for better demand estimates #21

Right now, we assume a SATAIII spinning disk can demand 6Gbps. This will never be the case, and results in SATA complexes looking horribly oversubscribed. With the new diskstats, we can track an actual maximum, and make a better estimate. Think about how to do so.
