Hm, these look like they're subject to the permissions on the device
file. We'll tackle adding kauth(9) calls there some other time.

Nothing prevents us from adding several KAUTH_MACHDEP_FOO actions to
handle different semantics. :) Would you say it's sensible to add
KAUTH_MACHDEP_CMOS for the cmos.c case and KAUTH_MACHDEP_NVRAM (perhaps
with read/write granularity) in the future for different
cases/semantics?
