Comment(by nickm):

 I am skeptical about the "decrement the in-bucket when traffic is
 'generated internally' " approach.  It seems that it would require
 pervasive changes throughout the codebase.  I bet that the "adaptively
 decrease the read-rate until the write-limit is (almost) never reached)"
 approach would yield significantly more reliable and maintainable code.

 As for separating stuff: I meant separate patches, so that the features
 can be merged and reviewed independently.  If the short-refill-interval
 approach yields significant improvements, it shouldn't have to wait for
 the double-gating fixes to get revised.  I just talked to Karsten and
 Sebastian, and they said they'd like to try to split up the patch series
 into independent patches.  That'd be great!
