Nice point, I didn't realize we already had 'tools/include/linux/sizes.h'.
The suggested macros (KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB and their variants) have been added
to PATCH[v2 5/6]. I think it's reasonable to use 'tools/include/linux/sizes.h'
directly instead of reinventing the wheel.

I will go ahead to use 'tools/include/linux/sizes.h' directly in v3 if nobody
objects. I would like to receive comments on v2 before I'm going to post v3.

Thanks,
Gavin
