Only hw/net/virtio-net.c uses nc->rxfilter_notify_enabled.  This
function isn't reusable in its current form so I'm left wondering what
the point of this patch is?

If you have patches that invoke rxfilter_notify() from other NICs then
please submit them together in a series.

Otherwise, let's not move things around just for the sake of it,
especially when the refactoring is not done correctly.
