SubFunction is a portion of the PCI device, created on demand, a SF

eswitch representation offload similar to existing PF and VF
representors.

To support SF representor, this patch introduces new devargs syntax,
examples:
 representor=sf0               - single SubFunction representor
 representor=sf[1,3,5]         - single list
 representor=sf[0-3],          - single range
 representor=sf[0,2-6,8,10-12] - list with singles and ranges

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.
