This confuses me. Why would you even want to register pins that don't
exist? It sounds to me like you're lying to gpiolib and then try to work
around it trying to access the GPIOs that don't exist but which you told
it were there.

Why not just tell gpiolib about only the GPIOs that exist?

Please look at my patches.  That's exactly what they do, but no one else 
likes that approach.
