BPF_AND is normally only used on syscall arguments, not on the syscall
number or the architecture, right? And when a syscall argument is
loaded, we abort execution anyway. So I think there is no need to
implement those?

You could probably write this as something like:

const bool save_orig = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE) ||
__is_defined(SECCOMP_ARCH);

If this change really belongs into this patch (which I don't think it
does), please describe why in the commit message.
