-IP: Drop source routed frames
-CONFIG_IP_NOSR
-  Usually, the originator of an IP frame (packet) specifies only the
-  destination, and the hosts along the way do the routing, i.e. they
-  decide how to forward the frame. However, there is a feature of the
-  IP protocol that allows to specify the full route for a given frame
-  already at its origin. A frame with such a fully specified route is
-  called "source routed". The question now is whether we should honour
-  these route requests when such frames arrive, or if we should drop
-  all those frames instead. Honouring them can introduce security
-  problems (and is rarely a useful feature), and hence it is
-  recommended that you say Y here unless you really know what you're
-  doing.

+Persistent DMA buffers
+CONFIG_SOUND_DMAP
+  Linux can often have problems allocating DMA buffers for ISA cards on
