Do we want to deprecate the coremask (-c option) and use the corelist (-l o=
ption)?

The number of cores is now greater then 64 bits and the coremask is difficu=
lt for people to work with when selecting cores.

We can send out a deprecation notice and start removing the code for next r=
elease or the release after next to give a bit more time.

Regards,
Keith
