Yes, this does complicate things. I think I'll get rid of the TSC
manipulation, since it's not clear to me how to resolve this. (I do
think it makes the API slightly incomplete, though, so suggestions how
to resolve it would be welcome.)

IIRC the flag goes away, but we still have to do something in
__ptrace_unlink to clear the seccomp suspended, so I'm not sure if the
automatic-ness helps us.
