You're right. On the other hand this provides a means to spawn all
representors without necessarily knowing how many can be instantiated first,
e.g. by always providing a "representor=[0-31]" argument, since no special
keyword is defined to request them all.
Not saying it's a good or bad thing, but somewhat harmless. Just like
specifying "-w {DBDF}" arguments with invalid addresses, nonexistent
representors are silently ignored.
In any case, this can be improved later. We're already seeing a couple of
limitations with the representor argument, namely the lack of hot-plug
support, which will need to be addressed as well.
