Sure will have a look.

So, should I wait till they are in?. Actually my throttle patches for 
fsdev are already upstream (2.9). Now I am just introducing the qmp/hmp 
interfaces for the same.

I have read about the throttle group, last year when I was implementing 
the throttle feature for fsdev.My open source work depends on the 
projects I/my group work on. So, when I have more bandwidth work on 
those, I will surely take it up. Throttle group option may be useful 
feature even in case of fsdev devices.
