For cases like IPv6 addresses, having a means to supply tracing
predicates for fields with more than 8 bytes would be convenient.
This series provides a simple way to support this by allowing
simple ==, != memory comparison with the predicate supplied when
the size of the field exceeds 8 bytes.  For example, to trace
::1, the predicate

	"dst == 0x00000000000000000000000000000001"

..could be used.

Patch 1 provides the support for > 8 byte fields via a memcmp()-style
predicate.  Patch 2 adds tests for filter predicates, and patch 3
documents the fact that for > 8 bytes. only == and != are supported.

Changes since RFC [1]:

- originally a fix was intermixed with the new functionality as
  patch 1 in series [1]; the fix landed separately
- small tweaks to how filter predicates are defined via fn_num as
  opposed to via fn directly
