Agree, allowing a list of nodes to be provided to the acpi-generic-initiator will remove the need for the nvidia-acpi-generic-initiator object. > I also don't see any programatic means for management tools to know how > many nodes to create.

Maybe this can be managed through proper documentation in the user manual?
