Kernel options

I need to recompile my kernel, and I'm confused with a few options. Right now I'm using 7.1-RELEASE.

I'd like to know what these options are for (dont' really understand the man pages):
options STACK
options ADAPTIVE_GIANT
options STOP_NMI

Don't think they appeared in the 7.0 kernel configuration file.

I'm also wondering if NTFS support will be loaded like the MSDOSFS one as described in the handbook:
Unless you plan to mount a DOS formatted hard drive partition at boot time, you can safely comment this out. It will be automatically loaded the first time you mount a DOS partition.
