Hi Anurag,

can you please do a respin of this patch with the few things highlighted
previously fixed? Specifically:

* Remove "disable" from the doc headline for the option
* Add a log message about it being enabled - though I disagree about it
  being a "warning" - I think "info" level is probably sufficient.
* Put the log message about anti-spoof and source-prune on a single line so
  it can be found using "grep".

Thanks,
/Bruce
