This is to configure a bursty workload (and associated device) with
known/allowed expected burst size, but to not allow full utilization
of the device for extended periods of time for QoS. During idle or low
use periods the burst allowance accrues, and then tasks can burst well
beyond the configured throttle up to the limit, afterwards is
throttled. A constant throttle speed isn't sufficient for this as you
can only burst 1 slice worth, but a limit of sorts is desirable for
preventing over utilization of the shared device. This type of limit
is also slightly different than what i understand io.low does in local
cases in that tg is only high priority/unthrottled if it is bursty,
and is limited with constant usage
