Seriously, that is a crappy solution. If nvidia would properly register its devices with linux, these devices could be created dynamically. It's really up to nvidia to fix their kernel module. (By the way, the /dev/nvidia* devices do not even generate proper uevents and thus cannot be caught by udev or systemd. I wish they would stop relying on a closed-source kernel driver with debatable quality.)
