I'm curious what motivated this change to start with ?  Even if QEMU was not
enforcing seccomp filters, I think I'd consider it a bug for mesa to be setting
its process affinity in this way.  The mgmt application or sysadmin has decided
that the process must have a certain affinity, based on how it/they want the
host CPUs utilized. Why is mesa wanting to override this administrative policy
decision to restrict CPU usage ?
