saHpiAutoInsertTimeoutSet will set the timeout for all handlers that
report resources within that domain. This may conflict with the timeout
set by other domains if the resources the handler reports are present in
other domains. In that case, the last timeout set wins. If this is a
problem, the HPI user may configure the domains such that there is no
conflict.

Yes, however there is an inconsistency that needs to be fixed. Currently
the auto-insert timeout from the domain stanza is not set on the handlers
at startup. So the plugin timeout and the domain timeout might be out of
sync until saHpiAutoInsertTimeoutSet is called.
Next year this won't be a problem as domains will have their own process
space and the auto-insert timeout may be passed to the handlers on
creation.
For now, a fix might appear in a future patch release in which domains
might call saHpiAutoInsertTimeoutSet after initial discovery is done.
