+From 5d8341be46374c5b4c3e34af0c9fd4837f25ad67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Maxim Cournoyer <maxim.cournoyer@gmail.com>
+Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2025 00:31:43 +0900
+Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Add support to install files/symlinks in parallel.
+
+This reduces the install-zst target time from 100 s to 25 s on my test
+system, a 400% speed improvement.
+
+* Makefile (NUM_JOBS): New variable.
+(install, install-xz, install-zst): Use it.
+* copy-firmware.sh (num_jobs): New variable.
+(has_gnu_parallel): New procedure.
+<-j>: Parse new option, and use it along GNU parallel to parallelize
+firmware copying and compression/symlink creation.
