Okay, sounds good. It just seems seccomp continues to grow "layers", so
I'm eyeing this aspect of user_notif. i.e. what if systemd decides to
add a user_notif for something and now suddenly the containers can't use
it. Or if some complex thing inside a container tries to use user_notif
and it can't because the container manager is doing it, etc.

Future work! :)
