If you did the architecture enablement for X86 later in the series,
you could move this part over into that patch, that'd be cleaner.

I think this comment can probably go away, there isn't really much
trickery around padding holes in the struct as it is now.

set_bit() is atomic, but since we only do this at filter setup, before
the filter becomes globally visible, we don't need atomicity here. So
this should probably use __set_bit() instead.
