Hi,

I went for the solution I submitted because I wanted to avoid changes to the 
current bpf_jit_compile prototypes for all currently supported architectures 
(for most of which, I can only compile-test).

My solution also allows the seccomp jit code to be disabled while still 
allowing jit on socket filters (via a Kconfig option). This might be useful to 
some people.

Regards,
