Since you need the same mask on the case labels I think
I'd define a helper just across the switch statement:

#define M(cmd) ((cmd & ~(_IOC_SIZEMASK | _IOC_DIRMASK))
	switch (M(cmd)) {
	case M(SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV):
	...
	}
#undef M

It is probably wrong to mask off DIRMASK.
But you might need to add extra case labels for
the broken one(s).

Prior to worries about indirect jumps you could
get a dense set of case label and faster code.
