accept filters and zero copy sockets

I'm in the process of upgrading my web/database/nfs/jack-of-all-trades box
from 6.2 to RELENG_7. I figured now would be a good time to clean up my
kernel config files. I have the following in my old kernel config:
# Statically Link in accept filters
options ACCEPT_FILTER_DATA
options ACCEPT_FILTER_HTTP
# Zero copy sockets support. This enables "zero copy" for sending and
# receiving data via a socket. The send side works for any type of NIC,
# the receive side only works for NICs that support MTUs greater than the
# page size of your architecture and that support header splitting. See
# zero_copy(9) for more details.
options ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS
Are these options still working/recommended? With all the changes to
networking over the years (this box was originally set up during the 4.x
days and has been upgraded many times) I have no idea if these are still
good things to have.
Thanks!
