    ratelimit: Implement rate limit for credit2 scheduler
    
    Rate limit assures that a vcpu will execute for a minimum amount of
    time before being put at the back of a queue or being preempted by
    higher priority thread.
    
    It introduces context-switch rate-limiting. The patch enables the VM
    to batch its work and prevents the system from spending most of its
    time in context switches because of a VM that is waking/sleeping at
    high rate.
    
    ratelimit can be disabled by setting it to 0.
