First, thanks for the patch -- they are always appreciated!  However,
your patch is identical to the one suggested in this message:

http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg11850.html

The conversation then went on to mention that --bwlimit has never really
been a daemon option, and only coincidentally set a default bandwidth-
limit value for a daemon (in older versions).  However, that value could
be exceeded by the client (which is what your patch re-enables).  Though
the cited mailing-list thread doesn't mention it, the code in CVS now
has a better --bwlimit option for the daemon that makes this value an
enforced upper-limit on transfers from the daemon.  (Nothing tries to
limit transfers into a daemon other than the a user-specified --bwlimit
option.)

Note that the cited patch works fine for restoring the old --bwlimit
behavior to 2.6.3, and in fact, some Linux distributions (such as
Debian) have used it to patch their packaged version of 2.6.3.
