[ I had to look that one up manually, would be good if you keep
   people in Cc, also netdev for BPF in general. ]

I see, you need that to make it available to the old bpf_jit_compile()
for probing on classic JITs. Actually, I really would prefer, if instead
of duplicating that code, you could export bpf_prepare_filter() and
pass seccomp_check_filter() as an argument to bpf_prepare_filter().

Otherwise, in case bpf_prepare_filter() changes, people will easily
forget to update seccomp related code, really.

Thanks,
