Your reasoning?  We're not loading modules but creating device nodes
that Nvidia for some reason won't create unless you first run certain
utilities (or programs) as root for the first time. There was talk years
ago on devtalk.nvidia.com to make nvidia-modprobe 'setuid' so anyone can
run it, or just run as root after boot.  Some preferred a udev rule.
