Actually a good question.

My original though was: CRIU uses proc/status to determine whether to
use seccomp dumping, so i may as well implement the same thing.

On further thought, I think you're right.  We can just always read and
set these settings regardless of the original state because SUD is not
seccomp.

1. if GENERIC_ENTRY is not compiled, and TIF_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH is
   not available, these settings get ignored anyway.
2. if disabled, offset/len/selector is guaranteed to be off
3. if you try to set something other than the above then this will fail
   anyway (see: set_syscall_user_dispatch)

ergo
4. It's always say to read/write these settings.  As with anything else
   you can certainly cause the user program to crash by setting garbage
	 but that's to be expected.


So i think dropping 2/3 in the list is good.  If you concur i'll do
that.
