You can do this with the security layer, netfilter's ULOG, or even
the netfilter connection tracking netlink sockets.
That's 3 facilities by which you can accomplish this, and if none
of them are perfect, add the small modifications you need to one
of them to make them usable for your task.
It makes no sense to add new facilities just for this.
