Subject: [PATCH 1/3] kconfig: consolidate arch-specific seccomp options


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

There are 7 architecures with "config SECCOMP".  They all have
virtually the same help text except for those referencing the
/proc interface which was removed in 2007.

There is *NOTHING* architecture-specific about SECCOMP except
that the syscalls have per-architecture definitions, like every
other syscall.  It is absurd to have the option in the
arch-specific menus.

Move it to the security menu, consolidate the 7 down to one,
and remove the embarassingly-ancient references to the /proc
interface.
