It's possible that a port added to the system with certain kinds of invalid parameters will cause the 'could not add' log to be triggered. When this happens, the vswitch run loop can continually re-attempt adding the port. While the parameters remain invalid the vswitch run loop will re-trigger the warning, flooding the syslog.
This patch adds a simple rate limit to the log.
