this is probably ok as is... just a suggestion though:

why not check for and strip "/dev/" prefix and then check for the existence of
"/sys/class/block/" + suffix + "/stat"? it will be a tiny bit more generic and
somewhat more robust.

+    return "/sys/class/block/sda/stat";
+  } else if (strcmp(dev_path, "/dev/mmcblk0") == 0) {
+    return "/sys/class/block/mmcblk0/stat";
+  } else {
+    LOG(WARNING) << "unknown root device " << dev_path;
+    return "";
+  }
