I looked at tracing and it depended on BPF_SYSCALL so I assumed they all
do… Now looking for BPF_PROG_RUN() there is PPP_FILTER,
NET_TEAM_MODE_LOADBALANCE and probably more.  I didn't find a symbol for
seccomp-BPF. 
Would it make sense to override BPF_PROG_RUN() and make each caller fail
instead? Other recommendations?
