Thanks for following up! At present, it stalled out, so I think it'd
make sense to just drop it.  I will repost the series soon-ish and see
if any progress can be made.  [I've explored a number of alternative
approaches and still think something along the seccomp_filter lines is
still rational.]

cheers!
