I am attaching  another version of the patch, as I found stupid mistake

in the earlier version of patch, where I missed to initialize initial value to
WaitEventIO enum. Also earlier version was not getting cleanly apply on
the current version of sources.

I have applied attached patch, set shared_buffers to 128kB and ran pgbench, I am able to see below distinct IO events.

--with ./pgbench -i -s 500 postgres
application_name    wait_event_type    wait_event              query
 pgbench                  IO                          ExtendDataBlock   copy pgbench_account

 pgbench                  IO                          ReadBuffile            alter table pgbench_

--with ./pgbench -T 600 postgres (readwrite)

 pgbench                 IO                           ReadDataBlock      SELECT abalance FROM

Attached excel with all IO event values.
