I sent this patch back on 9/19 and it never went anywhere. I'm sending it again, against the lastest unstable. -- Steve ==== 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. -- Steve Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
