[RFC PATCH] powerpc/pseries: Ratelimit EPOW event warnings

[Kamalesh Babulal]

We print the respective warning after parsing EPOW interrupts,
prompting user to take action depending upon the severity of the
event.

Some times same EPOW event warning, such as below could flood kernel
log, within very short duration. So Limit the message by using
ratelimit variant of pr_err.
