Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] ratelimit the ieee1394 IR legacy activated messages

running coriander1 with an Apple iSight produces lots of dmesg output.

Jul 13 22:14:17 ibook kernel: ieee1394: raw1394: /dev/raw1394 device initialized
Jul 13 22:15:28 ibook kernel: ohci1394: fw-host0: IR legacy activated
Jul 13 22:15:59 ibook last message repeated 208 times
Jul 13 22:17:00 ibook last message repeated 762 times
Jul 13 22:18:01 ibook last message repeated 914 times
Jul 13 22:18:17 ibook last message repeated 238 times
Jul 13 22:18:17 ibook kernel: ieee1394: unsolicited response packet received - no tlabel match
Jul 13 22:18:17 ibook kernel: ohci1394: fw-host0: IR legacy activated

its less noisy with the patch:

Jul 14 08:03:08 ibook kernel: ieee1394: raw1394: /dev/raw1394 device initialized
Jul 14 08:03:26 ibook kernel: ohci1394: fw-host0: IR legacy activated
Jul 14 08:03:42 ibook last message repeated 10 times
Jul 14 08:03:47 ibook kernel: printk: 63 messages suppressed.
Jul 14 08:03:47 ibook kernel: ohci1394: fw-host0: IR legacy activated
Jul 14 08:03:52 ibook kernel: printk: 74 messages suppressed.
