Sorry for the delayed reply, I was travelling to LFCS.
Still I have to connect the filter from trace/perf probe.
Thats listed as todo and thats the next thing I am planning to work on.
Once we have the connect, this filter_chain and filters that we defined
will be used. Till then these two patches, One that defines filter_chain
and one that defines filters are useless.
