The changelog doesn't explain the semantics of the new syscall. 
There's a comment way-down-there which I guess suffices, if you hunt
for it.

And the changelog doesn't explain why this is being added.  Presumably
seccomp_filter wants/needs this feature but whowhatwherewhenwhy?  Spell
it all out, please.

The new syscall mode will be documented in the prctl manpage.  Please
cc linux-man-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org and work with Michael on getting this
done?
