To add to what Jan already pointed out, such renames
break UAPI, please don't do this.
It could be done with compat ifdef'ry but I think its rather ugly,
better to keep all uapi structure names as-is.

I think you should add MODULE_ALIAS("xt_TCPMSS") just in case, same
for all other merged (== 'removed') module names, to the respective
match (preserved) modules.
