redhat/kernel.spec.template: Parallelize compression
This line in the kernel.spec file:
find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/lib/modules/ -type f -name '*.ko' | xargs -P${RPM_BUILD_NCPUS} -r xz;
implies that ${RPM_BUILD_NCPUS} xz instances are run. This is not true,
and this line actually applies ${RPM_BUILD_NCPUS} to a single instance of
xz. This means that the compression has been done one module at a time
(ie, in serial) rather than in parallel as is implied by the code.
Use xarg's -n option to assign 16 cpus per process and parallelize the
compression.
