Without looking at the source to determine the meaning of 'compress' here,
is a fair corollary "Teach some stage of the bootstrap to understand that
compression"?

Will this solve the entire problem under discussion? It would make it possible
for people to reallocate resources, but does that handle every case for
PNP devices, and does it allow other things like the mask to be set?

Great! Syntax arguements come next ;-)
