You could use the hole in the structure:

                snd_wscale : 4, /* Window scaling received from sender  */
                rcv_wscale : 4; /* Window scaling to send to receiver   */
+	u8	init_rcv_wnd;	/* TCP initial receive window in MSS */
/*      SACKs data      */
        u8      num_sacks;      /* Number of SACK blocks
