I think this is probably the right way to do it, modulo getting the
warning fixed. Let me invoke the great linux-api subscribers to get
some more opinions.

tl;dr: adding SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_EBPF to the flags changes the
pointer argument into an fd argument. Is this sane, should it be a
pointer to an fd, or should it not be a flag at all, creating a new
seccomp command instead (SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER_EBPF)?
