PLEASE do not break the seccomp ABI for this alone ... I'm still
trying to sort out the well intentioned, but extremely annoying
direct-wired x86 socket syscalls in 4.4 for libseccomp, I don't want
to have to deal with another big change for at least a month or two ;)

Agreed, if we break anything, please add this.
