This is a great idea.

I think that the support infrastructure could be told it's running
a threaded test, and then allow them to be parallelized up to a
point, perhaps a load factor, or something else.

The first step would obviously be:

* For all nptl tests support serializes them with a lock file.
* Remove .NOTPARALLEL.
