Note that the logging changes that I'm working on also introduce a new
filter flag (as Kees mentioned above). My filter flag is a lot like the
KILL_PROCESS filter flag in that it is stored as a member of the
seccomp_filter struct.

I would think that you'd want to be able to do something like
PTRACE_SECCOMP_GET_FILTER to (hopefully) future proof CRIU against all
newly added filter flags.

I'll also mention that I have a libseccomp branch in the making that
allows libseccomp to query the kernel to see if it supports a given
filter flag. I haven't done a PR on that yet because I'm waiting to see
how my related kernel patches play out (they seem to be getting close to
being acceptable).
