/dev/wsfont used to be root:root 0600 and didn't bother to check
FWRITE in its ioctl code.  macallan@ recently added support for
listing the loaded fonts (WSDISPLAYIO_LISTFONTS, wsfontload -l).  It
would make sense to make that available to normal users - it's weird
to allow them to set the font but not list the available fonts.  But
that creates a bit of a problem if someone uses new MAKEDEV that
creates 0644 /dev/wsfont but boots an old kernel that doesn't have the
FWRITE check.
