      Certain eBPF features require privileged mode.  If the user selects any one of them (e.g. UDNMapping), then privileged mode should be automatically enabled.  If there are concerns about doing this, then it should minimally flag this as an error as opposed to just not working and having the user figure out what's wrong.

       

      Additional Note (joel): it has always been intentional to ask it as an explicit configuration, because setting the privileged mode does weaken the security.

      So, the goal here would be to make sure it is correctly handle in the validation hook to help users understand what they're missing (I thought it was done already, so, to be verified)
