So after some more discussion the current proposal would be to drop the
'nodes' property to reduce cluttering, but leave the 'shared' flag as it
is in v1 of the patch.

Unless there is a real use case for limited sharing of non-volume mps?

Note that for the HA case, you can already limit the whole CT resource
with a restricted HA group, and for the manual case, you select the
target node anyway.
