  It depends. SGI SN configs can vary dramatically. We create a unique
  SSDT for each populated PCI slot. The previous 255 SSDT id maximum
  could theoretically be surpassed on machines with huge amounts of IO -
  although configs with that much IO are extremely rare. We were
  just trying to avoid any (future) configuration limitations.

  Yes. Our SN hotplug driver will add or remove SSDTs from the system
  upon hotplugs/hotunplugs.
