This part looks okay, I think. I need to spend some more time looking at
the BPF side. I want to make sure it is only possible to build a
BPF_PROG_TYPE_SECCOMP prog by going through seccomp. I want to make sure
we can never side-load some kind of unexpected program into seccomp,
etc. Since BPF_PROG_TYPE_SECCOMP is part of UAPI, is this controllable
through the bpf() syscall?

One thought I had, though, is I wonder if flags are needed to be
included with the fd? I'll ponder this a bit more...
