Just back from a short evening relex walk, it hit me a acceptable 
solution. That's while help, I leave some information at help info, and 
I prepare another private module right after the NF_IP_PRI_CONNTRACK 
hook which then take the responsibility checking if concerning message 
left in the help info and thus moving the nfct.
