[Cocci] [RESEND 0/3] coccinelle: add parallel execution

[Gregory.Dietsche at cuw.edu]

From: Greg Dietsche <Gregory.Dietsche at cuw.edu>

This is a re-post of the patches found here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/12/397

Could I get the appropriate aks/naks to get these into the kernel? Also, I've added Michal Marek to the CC list since it is my understanding that he's the one that will eventually commit these. Thanks!!

This patch series adds a new flag PARALLEL= to the coccicheck build target and documents the new feature.

Performance is quite a bit better than single threaded. On my 6 core box, the checks generally run around 3x faster.
