What happens if I try to mix different types of representors: A: -a DBDF,representor=sf0,representor=vf1 B: -a DBDF,representor=sf0 -a DBDF,representor=vf1 (DBDF is the same in args B in both cases). I'm not trying to say that it must work, since most likely hotplug will be used to add representors. But behaviour must be consistent (error?). The question is raised here, since it is the first patch where the second type of representor appears. Andrew.
