well, obviously, it doesn't change the options per se, but it sort of
demonstrates that _probably_ somewhere ->options could be changed. on
the other hand, that ->options = ->options + X makes it rather hard
to kfree() the ->options. well, we never kfree() the ->options anyway,
as far as I can tell...
