Andrew picked the patch I made originally, before Andrew James Wade
patched it.

Both patches are obsoleted by the new logic in the context switch that
uses the bitflags to enter the slow path, see Chuck's patch. That will
prevent the need of a config option because it's zero cost like the
core of seccomp.

As long as seccomp won't be nuked from the kernel, Chuck's patch seems
the way to go.

But the point is that I've no idea anymore what will happen to
seccomp so perhaps all patches will be useless.
