I wonder if the if (!privileged) check should be moved before driverState
allocation?

When you remove this hunk you cause any jump to the error label to fall through all of the following labeled error cleanup sections.

Those sections are also called in nwfilterDriverShutdown(). I'm wondering if the functions are safe to call even if the driver wasn't initialized completely. In that case we might be just calling nwfilterDriverShutdown() and get rid of the cleanup labels. If we're not allowed to do that, the return statement has to stay there.
