This seems fine in principle.

Did you ever figure out why the compressdev_autotest was failing with
coremask used in the first place? I haven't looked at the coremask
deprecation patch that you had found, but David said on slack that it
didn't remove the option to use the coremask EAL arg, it just discourages
it with a warning.
