How about some special file like /proc/devperms or /devfs/devperms that
contains conservative defaults on system-boot and can be overwritten with
the default permissions favoured by the system-administrator as one of
the first things before loading the device-drivers?

It could look like

# dev uid gid mode flags
hd 0 0 0600 nocreate
lp 0 0 0660 nocreate
sd 0 0 0600 nocreate
ttyC 0 0 0660
