Why not move the loop into some Makefile and let make take care of the

... run given test and store its result ...
then the user can simply type make -j6 coccicheck.

yes, I agree, that would be better - especially from a user perspective.
I'm not much of a makefile expert at all. I did try that approach
initially, but it seemed like it was going to turn into a rewrite of the
coccinelle script. If someone can do it via make, I'd say go for it :)
I won't have much free time for the foreseeable future to tackle it.
using "make -j" is much more comfortable and intuitive than typing
PARALLEL= ...
