So in any case I think the seccomp QoL tie-in suggested by Andy should 
be done in a separate patch, and I've applied the -v3 patch to 
tip:perf/core as-is.

( I've added Alexei's Acked-by too, which as I've read the v2 thread's 
  discussion was a given as long as his ~0 suggestion was implemented,
  which you did. )

Thanks,
