If we do go with a ratelimit architecture for sdev_printk, I would
think the limit has to be per sdev, because we wouldn't want a burst of
messages on one sdev to suppress messages on another.

For this particular issue, I suppose one target can have many sdevs, so
you'd prefer to rate limit by target?
