For whatever that's worth, ARCH=um should not need 'unsealing' or 'not
sealing' it for *itself*, but rather only for the *children* it starts,
which are for the userspace processes inside of it. Which I suppose
could actually start without a VDSO in the first place, but I don't
think that's possible now?
Which I'll note should not have access to the host, so in a way this
outer security feature (sealing) breaks the inner ARCH=um security, I
think.
