Thanks for the details on this! That helps me understand what's
happening much better. :)

Would it make sense to provide a systemd setting for services to declare
"no compat" or "no x32" (I'm not sure what to call this mode more
generically, "no 32-bit allocation ABI"?) Then you can just install
a single merged filter for all the native syscalls that starts with
"if not native, reject"?

(Or better yet: make the default for filtering be "native only", and
let services opt into other ABIs?)
