Maybe you should read your own comment about ad-hominem attacks earlier
in this thread and consider if it might apply to you.

I know, what I have said. I said reduce the filtering to the absolute
minimum and do the rest in userspace.

The now builtin filters are defined to fit somebodys needs or idea of
what the user should / wants to see. They will not fit everybodys
needs / ideas. So we start modifying, adding and #ifdefing kernel
filters, which is a scary vision.

Enabling and disabling events is a valid basic filter request, which
should live in the kernel. Anything else should go into userspace, IMO.
