Let me get this straight: you want to set the ownership of some new
device nodes created by a module, and that ownership is determined by
who owns the console?
You don't need to hack devfs to do this. All you need to do is
configure devfsd appropriately.

This didn't parse well. You mean you want an ACL on the device which
gives the console owner device rights?

Not at this stage. I'm waiting to see if we can get a ACL
implementation accepted into the kernel. I don't want something
devfs-specific.
