Should it be rate limited to prevent guest spamming host log? In the 
case of informational messages it's always good if it gives the 
administrator some idea of what to do with it. If it's normal
for the host does it even need a message? If yes, then identifying which
guest and adding something like "(this might becaused by a bug in guest 
driver)" would set the poor admin's mind at rest.

Thanks,
Nick
