Agreed, this would allow to remove the dependency of libseccomp on >=
3.12. Though I personally don't mind that much, since libseccomp does
not have any reverse dependencies, except systemd (for which it is an
optional dependency), and systemd itself already depends on having a
fairly recent set of kernel headers.
