I think 3 occurences of the same string deserve a helper. Also strings
should be un-indented to fit below 80 chars per column.

I'm thinking about the message level, you use warning. The ratelimiting
makes sense here, but I'm not sure if KERN_INFO would be sufficient.
Maybe there are different expectations for send and dedupe too.

If dedupe does not work due to send, then I don't rate is as a severe
problem. Some space is not deduped.

OTOH, send can be used for backups so a failure should be more visible.

As we don't have a better mechanism to report such event to the user,
it's the return code and syslog message. We should try to find a
reasonable default but can't satisfy all users.
