Only the fact that it's not 100% backwards compatible, although I have
no idea whether anyone will actually want the old behaviour.

Apart from the use of integers, r.mfilter reads nulls as zero, while
r.mfilter.fp reads nulls as null and propagates them (i.e. the result
cell will be null if any cell in the moving window is null).
