Patch

differing devices.

Signed-off-by: Rafi Rubin <rafi@seas.upenn.edu>

Module parameters and sysfs nodes to adjust these filters will be
submitted in a separate patch.  For now I think its important that users
can easily tune these parameters, since I can't be sure that I've picked
optimal values.
