The cleanups, well, exchange one name for the other. I don't have a
strong opinion on one or the other. So in the end I don't see why
that stuff should be renamed. However, in the end I really do not care.

I'm not sure why we need an additional ratelimit here. Is it a policy
that every kernel driver should have local ratelimiting? If not, why
do you think b43 needs its own ratelimiting? Note that b43 does not
output a single line to dmesg in normal operation, after init has
finished (and ratelimit is disabled in init).

I think these statistics are almost worthless for b43.
