nf_nat_setup_info gets the hook number and translates that to the

manip per hook could exist, the exact hook number doesn't matter
anymore, its converted to the manip type. Most callers already

[NETFILTER]: xt_TCPMSS: don't allow netfilter --setmss to increase mss
When terminating DSL connections for an assortment of random customers, I've
found it necessary to use iptables to clamp the MSS used for connections to
work around the various ICMP blackholes in the greater net. Unfortunately,
the current behaviour in Linux is imperfect and actually make things worse,
so I'm proposing the following: increasing the MSS in a packet can never be
a good thing, so make --set-mss only lower the MSS in a packet.
Yes, I am aware of --clamp-mss-to-pmtu, but it doesn't work for outgoing
connections from clients (ie web traffic), as it only looks at the PMTU on
the destination route, not the source of the packet (the DSL interfaces in
question have a 1442 byte MTU while the destination ethernet interface is
1500 -- there are problematic hosts which use a 1300 byte MTU). Reworking
that is probably a good idea at some point, but it's more work than this is.

This introduces a CCMPS field for setting a CCID-specific upper bound on the application payload

Only the TX CCID is considered in setting this limit, since the RX CCID generates comparatively
small (DCCP-Ack) feedback packets. The CCMPS field includes network and transport layer header
lengths. The only current CCMPS customer is CCID4 (via RFC 4828).
A wrapper is used to allow querying the CCMPS even at times where the CCID modules may not have
been fully negotiated yet.
In dccp_sync_mss() the variable `mss_now' has been renamed into `cur_mps', to reflect that we are
dealing with an MPS, but not an MSS.
