Running tempest tests in parallel is definitely a good goal to
have. However, I believe that all the tests run in a gate are done
sequentially right now, correct? Seems like if we kicked off tempest at
the same time as the regular gate stuff, much of their execution would
overlap. I'm not sure if the current CI stuff does any parallel jobs
like that, but I think it shouldn't be too hard to do and would help
with the latency-to-merge issue.
