Hrmpf. This adds to the cognitive load for accepting this patch
series. :P Now I have to convince myself that there is no additional
exposure to seccomp by using the entire set of eBPF instructions.
While I'm pretty sure it'll be fine, I really don't want to risk being
wrong and opening a hole here. I will spend some time looking at the
new eBPF instructions...
