In cases where the ACPI AML contains errors there can be quite a large
amount of ACPICA kernel log spamming. Reduce this by rate limiting
the messages.

Except when someone wants to see them all which also happens.

And wouldn't this also rate limit debug messages from ACPICA
specifically enabled via the kernel command line?

If so, I'd rather find a way to tell ACPICA to be less verbose.

Yep, makes sense Rafael. The crux of the matter is that there should be 
some way to reduce repeated identical "ACPI BIOS Error" messages, 
especially when the AML is triggering this 10+ times a second :-)
