Do you mean that the operating mode is automatically selected by
detecting the number of devices and CPUs instead of being set
manually?

For this situation, My speculation is that the PCIE nodes are
over-mounted and not just because of the CPU to Drive ratio.
We considered designing online nodes, because we were concerned that
the IO of different chunk sizes would adapt to different MSI-X modes.
I privately think that it may be logically complicated if programmatic
judgments are made.
