Stefan mentioned in another e-mail that someone proposed at some point
to unify this with the code in throttle.c. We can consider it but that
needs to be evaluated first. The other code is more complex and has
extra features (bursts) so it may not be worth the effort. Also the
algorithm is different. I can take a look in the future when I have some
time.

Otherwise, your patch looks good.
