There is a ratelimit for printing, but it's incremented each time the cpu recives dmar fault interrupt. While one interrupt may signal about *many* faults. And delayed to wq dmar fault work might receive even more faults to clean, than it was earlier.
Ratelimit each fault printing rather than each time the wq is scheduled.
