A filtering flags bitmap is a logical choice here, but I found the
overhead to be non-trivial, which is why we have separate variables for
the other filtering options.

Since we're not touching this in the savevm code, I assume the intention
is that we can transparently migrate between filtered bridges and
non-filtered bridges, right?  Thanks,
