Various options that control the behavior of the kernel, for debugging, testing, troubleshooting, etc. You can generally ignore this section and turn things off, although there are some useful things there (Magic SysRq, various debugging codepaths). > cryptographic API ? This is the kernel crypto subsystem. You'll need stuff therein if you're using crypto. What, exactly, you'll need is pretty tricky (been there, done that ...) > Library routines? I think that you can pretty much ignore that section, too. IIUC, it contains code that out-of-tree kernel modules may need. If you're using such code, you may need to enable something there, but I've never had to.
