I think we should just change is_signed to bool. At least the parameter.
Or we can make the assignment: field->is_signed = !!is_signed; and nuke
the check below.

Note, the test for field->filter_type is wrong.

We should make a helper macro:

#define VERIFY_SIZE(type) WARN_ON(type > field->type)

and then have:

	VERIFY_SIZE(offset);
	VERIFY_SIZE(size);
	VERIFY_SIZE(filter_type);
