- split it into small pieces to reduce indentation, - return earlier if no filter specified, - use journal_add_matchf() and journal_add_match_pair(), chase_and_stat(), is_symlink(), and sd_device_new_from_devname(), - replace sd_device_get_devname() + stat() with sd_device_get_devnum(), - refuse to install filter by path with --root, --image, or --machine at least now, as previously it has not worked anyway.
