If ntsync isn't available then wine should continue working as before
"Before" right now is working esync/fsync, and those patches probably won't be carried once ntsync is merged. So the "before" after this MR is actually server side sync. I understand wine doesn't need to care about this, but it'd still be a good idea to create /dev/ntsync with more permissive bits by default.
I'd say especially if Wine is the primary and de-facto the only user of /dev/ntsync at this point, it makes sense to give ntsync more relaxed permissions by default. Is it even possible on the kernel side or kernel delegates this to udev?
