Yep. Although I did say I would only spend a few hours on a solution,
and would give up if it too longer. The patches themselves took much
shorter than I expected. It was writing the tests that brought me over
the brink. Although, I did a lot of manual tests to make sure things
did what was expected. But those manual tests need to become automatic
ones.

I'm placing the code changes in my 3.19 queue, and the test cases in my
3.20 queue. This is probably a good idea anyway, as the test cases will
fail if the code wasn't implemented, and the test goes in a separate
branch, where the code isn't implemented :-)  I did a merge to do the
test cases.

I also need to solve the busybox limitation. I don't know how that
shell can do bit logic, which is needed to verify that the filters
really did work.
