I don't see why you don't simply keep br_parse_ip_options() around and adjust it as you need, you're just mostly duplicating it's contents into br_nf_pre_routing().
More accurately, I'm *restoring* br_parse_ip_options()'s contents to br_nf_pre_routing(). The reasons why are twofold: I'm undoing a change which turns out to have been a mistake; and leaving it largely as-is, just removing the call to ip_options_compile(), would be confusing in that the name (br_pase_ip_options()) gives an expectation of function that would be untrue.
I can see an argument in favour of leaving br_parse_options() around, being that it is called from three places, and thus restoring the code removes checks which are currently being performed. They weren't being performed before and it's not clear that they are needed, but if you say that it would be better, I'll leave it around and just remove the call to ip_options_compile(). Just say the word.
