Except that right now, there are serious problems with udev since
systemd{evil,isease,isaster,ictator} modified some configuration
files which now require the use of seccomp (as far as I understand).
This is despite the fact that all SECCOMP options are enabled in my
kernel and the proper libraries are installed as far as I know.
The relevant parameters which have to be commented out in files
under /lib/systemd are:
#MemoryDenyWriteExecute=yes
#RestrictRealtime=yes
#RestrictAddressFamilies=AF_UNIX AF_NETLINK AF_INET AF_INET6
Otherwise the machine will not boot/reboot.
