This is probably fine, the existing shadow stack ABI provides a sensible
default behaviour for things that just use regular clone().  This series
just adds more control for things using clone3(), the main issue would
be anything that *needs* to specify stack size/placement and can't use
clone3().  That would need a separate userspace API if required, and
we'd still want to extend clone3() anyway.
