There's no architecture-dependent code in the emulator. It just has to
iterate through all the arch numbers. So I don't know what you are
referring to by "port ... over".
The logic is simple. If the emulator determines the filter must be an
allow for a given arch / syscall pair, then it is "cached by bitmap".

How about "performance improvement by default"? It's not like most end
users / distros would turn off something that's enabled by default
when they upgrade to a new kernel.
