Makes sense. Sure.

I understand why we want to rate-limit what's going to the log.
We don't want to rate-limit the text being put into errp, though,
because that goes to the database record for that particular interface
to indicate why it's malfunctioning. It should keep the error message
regardless of how much it recurs.
Can you come up with a way to handle both of these requirements
gracefully?

LGTM, hit this issue quite often.

[ovs-dev] [PATCH] vswitch: ratelimit the device add log
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.
