This is on purpose.  Does it causes a noticeable stall in the guest?

Yeah, it looks broken.  Each iteration of the loop can write much more
than sectors_per_chunk sectors, but here:

            if (s->common.speed) {
                delay_ns = ratelimit_calculate_delay(&s->limit, 
sectors_per_chunk);
            } else {
                delay_ns = 0;
            }

the second argument is fixed. :/
