Right; the "standard" permissions we recommend are 644 for files and 755
for dirs. The owner/group should be root/wheel.
Minimally, your kext (all files & dirs) must be owned by root and may
not be writable by any user other than root. Obviously, to be read by
the kext loading system they need to be readable by root, but should
also be readable by non-root users in order for Finder and
AppleSystemProfiler to be able to present them in the GUI.
Cheers,

Stupid question: what privileges are supposed to be put on the
components of a KEXT package? The next major release of OS X (and so
the next major release of Darwin I suppose) thinks that the following
privileges are bad :
.kext folder: drwxrwxr-x 4 root admin
Contents folder: drwxrwxr-x 6 root admin
Info.plist file: -rw-rw-r-- 1 root admin
Mac OS folder: drwxrwxr-x 3 root admin
binary: -rw-rw-r-- 1 root admin
At least that's what kextload -tv is saying.
So what are the correct privileges supposed to be?
The KEXT is in /Library/StartupItems
