Yes, that's good news.  Unfortunately, I don't have access to any aarch64 
systems so I'm relying on you to do the testing.  I assume you've tested the 
current libseccomp repository against v3.19-rcX?

Once the v3.19 kernel is released if you can do one final libseccomp test run, 
including the live tests, I would appreciate it.  If everything works 
correctly I'll make a new libseccomp release.
