It does. With applyset:
Note that if any such nodes already exist, their
mode will not be changed unless this rule (or ruleset) is explicitly
applied (see below). The mode will be changed if the node is created
after the rule is added (e.g., the atspeaker module is loaded after the
above rule is added).
devfs rule applyset
Apply all the rules in the current ruleset to all the existing nodes.
