I'm not sure about the ordering of the options in sysctl.txt,
so I took a wild guess about where it fits.

[IPV4]: Safer reassembly

Another spin of Herbert Xu's "safer ip reassembly" patch
for 2.6.16.

(The original patch is here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=112281936522415&w=2
and my only contribution is to have tested it.)

This patch (optionally) does additional checks before accepting IP
fragments, which can greatly reduce the possibility of reassembling
fragments which originated from different IP datagrams.

Patch to ifenslave so that under older ABI versions, a failure to propogate ip
information from master to slave does not result in a filure to enslave the
slave device.
