And so far we assumed that consumer->filter() is "stable" and never
changes its mind.

Perhaps this is fine, but I am not sure. May we need need some
interface to add/del the task. Probably not, but unregister + register
doesn't look very convenient and can miss a hit.

But if we change the rules so that ->filter() or ->handler() itself can
return the "please remove this bp from ->mm" then perhaps it makes more
sense for the filtering. Again, not sure.
