No. It's just something comes to my mind after saw your patch.

No, that would be way to complex. Something I thought of is quite
simple (like what Linux kernel does):

	#define RTE_LOG_ONCE(...)	do {	\
		static int warned;		\
		if (!warned) {			\
			RTE_LOG(...);		\
			warned = 1;		\
		}				\
	} while (0)


And yes, I know it's far away from being perfect (and accurate, regarding
to multiple devices and so on as you mentioned). Even though, I think
it's much better than showing nothing when something goes wrong.
