So we have a security interface that is damn near impossible to get
right. Perfect.
I think this explains exactly why I support this idea. Make X32 look
like everyone else and put these custom horrific hacks in seccomp if we
are unwilling to 'do it right'
Honestly, how many people are using seccomp on X32 and would be horribly
pissed if we just fixed it?
The bigger issue is probably if we will open a problem with the older
kernels.
