Hi Ding.

pr_<level>_ratelimited adds a per-use
rate limit control so each line is
separately rate limited.

Another way to do this is to use the
more global net_ratelimit() before
each existing pr_<level>.

Not suggesting one or the other is
right or wrong here, it's just an option.

	if (net_ratelimit())
		pr_debug(etc...)

etc..
