I sent this patch back on 9/19 and it never went anywhere. I'm sending
it again, against the lastest unstable.

==== Originally sent 9/19/2006 ====
If someone turns on verbose and/or debug the hypervisor slams the serial
pretty badly when starting a FV domain. So I pulled the
printk_ratelimit from Linux and put it into the hypervisor. Right now
the only user of it is the MEM_LOG in arch/x86/mm.c which can really
spit out a lot.
Since printk_ratelimit is very helpful in the Linux kernel, I can see it
being also used in HV. I changed it slightly from Linux to match the
naming convention in Xen. Since printk is defined to printf, I declared
the function printf_ratelimit and made a define of printk_ratelimit to
just be a clone of printf_ratelimit.
