My additional 2c here:
While I don't see much wrong with having core lists passed using a long option,
more and more cores are being added to the latest CPUs, so it's likely that DPDK
users are going to have systems with >64 cores and will want to move from the
coremask specifier to the core list option. In that case, having it as a short
option makes a lot of sense.
