Alberto has already written udev rules, and they work, however, as far I can tell, they still require the user to 'sudo modprobe nvidia_uvm' before running any OpenCL or CUDA applications, or manually add nvidia_uvm to /etc/modules.

So the question is, do we want to try to load nvidia_uvm and create /dev/nvidia-uvm on demand, or should it just be done for all nvidia devices?

For desktops, nvidia_uvm could be loaded when nvidia is loaded, but for servers nvidia_uvm would need to be added to /etc/modules.
