Re: [kvm-ppc-devel] [PATCH] Add print for PowerPC qemu for failed DCR read/writes

[Hollis Blanchard <hollisb-r/Jw6+rmf7HQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>]

Yeah, rate-limiting makes sense. Maybe we could take it one step further
and only print the warning the first time a particular unemulated DCR is
accessed.

I also agree about the captalization. :)
