I asked, and apparently this is already in froggy.  The filtering is
implemented kernel-side.

So, I would like it if this part were changed as I suggested
up-thread.  We're starting to look at porting gdb to froggy and it
would be nice to have this in place from the beginning.

Sérgio, I'm willing to write a patch against your branch for this, if
you want.  Just let me know.

thanks,
Tom
