And provide domain summary stat in that case, for lxc backend.
Use case is a container inheriting all devices from the host,
e.g. when doing application containerization.

Get device block stats for a running domain. A I<block-device> corresponds
to a unique target name (<target dev='name'/>) or source file (<source
file='name'/>) for one of the disk devices attached to I<domain> (see
-also B<domblklist> for listing these names).
+also B<domblklist> for listing these names). On a lxc domain, omitting the
+I<block-device> yields device block stats summarily for the entire domain.
Use I<--human> for a more human readable output.
