recommendations on implementing a custom Netfilter hook to QUEUE packets before their SEQ/ACK and size before fragmentation are known?

Hi all.

What I look for is reimplementing a part of NFQUEUE functionality at
the stage where TCP packet is formed before sending to network.
It seems that NFQUEUE can't just handle expanded (> MTU) packet, and
also want to have control over SEQ/ACK numbers assigned to
both packets and connection structures.

But errr.. where to look for? The sources are too complex and there's
not enough guides.
Actually I have this doc only:
http://www.nsnam.org/wiki/index.php/GSOC2009Netfilter#Callback_Priority

Can anyone point me to correct place in kernel sources to see/attach
with SystemTap and track how SEQs are generated and how outgoing
packets are planned to be fragmented or even dropped? Deliberately
want a good tour.

P.S. There's at least 2 projects that can benefit from such
transparent packet size growing, one is mine and second is StegBox
(steganography based covert channels in traffic)
