>Description:

	There's plenty of validation that `npfctl validate' can do
	without talking to the kernel.  It should do that, and have a
	separate way to make sure it makes sense with respect to the
	current kernel.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Attempt to run `npfctl validate foo.conf' unprivileged, or for
	a system that is not the current one.

>Fix:

	Yes, please!
