MIPS: DEC: Rate-limit memory errors for ECC systems

Prevent the system from becoming unusable due to a flood of memory error
messages with DECstation and DECsystem models using ECC, that is KN02,
KN03 and KN05 systems.  It seems common for gradual oxidation of memory
module contacts to cause memory errors to eventually develop and while
ECC takes care of correcting them and the system affected can continue
operating normally until the contacts have been cleaned, the unlimited
messages make the system spend all its time on producing them, therefore
preventing it from being used.

Rate-limiting removes the load from the system and enables its normal
operation, e.g.:

Bus error interrupt: CPU memory read ECC error at 0x139cfb04
  ECC syndrome 0x54 -- corrected single bit error at data bit D3
Bus error interrupt: CPU partial memory write ECC error at 0x138c1f5c
