As I already said, please just send me your patch to disable or even
better fix this behaviour and I'm going to apply it. If you really want
to do something useful, please just fix the ipv4options match to be
acceptable for kernel inclusion. So far, it does stupid things like
using seperate flags for option negation and it depends on IP option
metadata provided by the IP layer, which doesn't work for bridging.
The last point BTW really is a good example why random crap from POM
shouldn't be trusted.
