I think this problem should not occurred because the patch make the ipv4 header
of a 32 bit alignment.

[1]Summary of the problem:
Kernel does not delete the space of the options which not allowed in

[2]Full description of the problem:
ip_options_fragment() just fill options which not allowed in fragments with
NOOPs, does not delete the space of the options, following patch has
corrected the problem. Refer to FreeBSD, the space of the options which not
allowed in fragments will be delete. If the space does not be deleted, the
network traffic will be increased.
But the result might have worse alignment for the following headers, so it
could be a net loss.
I would say it's not worth the code complexity you added.
