   2 * ratelimit.c - Do something with rate limit.
   3 *
   4 * Isolated from kernel/printk.c by Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com>
   5 *
   6 * 2008-05-01 rewrite the function and use a ratelimit_state data struct as
   7 * parameter. Now every user can use their own standalone ratelimit_state.
