I think just turning the ratelimit sysctls into boolean that turn on/off
if the ICMP is checked against a single ratelimit per dst_entry would be
fine. I thought about splitting it into informational and error, but do
not see a real benefit in it, it would also make configuration for the user
harder (he would need to find out to what type an ICMP belongs). And as
you note for more complicated setups there is always CBQ.
