Currently the driver only uses location values to maintain an ordered
list of filters.  There is nothing to stop the list becoming longer
than the filer hardware can support - the driver will report an error,
but will not roll back the change!

Make it reject location values >= MAX_FILER_IDX, consistent with the
range that gfar_get_cls_all() reports.

[Re-sent to what I hope is a current address for Sebastian.]

This has not been tested in any way, as I don't have a suitable compiler
installed.  Sebastian, please could you review this?

Ben.

Sure that it does not do the rollback?
In case of to much filters it should work this way:
# Convert all in temp table
# Compress temp table
# Write out temp table => not enough space => discard temp table &
remove filter from list

You're right, I must have misread the code previously.  Therefore, I
withdraw this patch for the time being.

I do however think that this should be consistent, and I would like to
reserve some 'special' location values.  But, for compatibility, it may
be necessary to use some other method to distinguish them (e.g. another
flow_type flag.)
