You straced those syscalls from what kind of guest? Can you provide the
frequency they appear on a strace of you example so we can set the
priority? Don't need any fancy report, just some grep's and wc's on a
strace output should be just fine.

I thought it would be overkill the create a new seccomp.[c|h] just for this
purpose. But yes, we can start thinking about that since the features might
grow in the future.

Thanks for the comments,
