Well, thanks for considering our patch in the first place. Should we rather
make it an "Advanced..." option for the y axis? That would leave the original
appearance of the IO Graph window intact, and we can address the naming issue
(see below) as well.

Granted. I'd like to add it shouldn't be called "filter" to avoid confusion
with display filters of the "tcp.flags.syn==1" kind.

Oops, we'll fix that and post another patch.
