There are two kernel stacks. One is NETKEY (comes with kernel) and one is
KLIPS (comes with openswan). They operate very differently. You will need
to pick one of the stacks and focus on that. They also have a different
feature set.

KLIPS can be found in the openswan tar.gz in linux/net/ipsec/

What is it that you are implementing?
