doc: ReSTify seccomp_filter.txt
This updates seccomp_filter.txt for ReST markup, and moves it under the user-space API index, since it describes how application author can use seccomp. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

A seccomp filter may return any of the following values. If multiple

call will always use the highest precedent value. (For example,

instruction). The return value register will contain an arch-

Caveats

something like acpi_pm.
