Is anything happening with this proposal? Is there anything I could do to help it along?

My personal motivation is that I'm involved in developing and using the [Shadow] simulator, which we use to run hours and days long simulations. We're currently looking into running some simulations in gitlab CI Docker runner to take advantage of shared hardware, but Docker currently doesn't expose a way to opt out of these mitigations without turning off seccomp altogether [Docker FR].

I've measured these mitigations to cause simulations to take 50% longer [Overhead], so I'm pretty motivated to find a way to disable them :).

[Docker FR]: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/42619
[Overhead]: https://github.com/shadow/shadow/issues/1489#issuecomment-871445482
