Aand that brings up another issue - that (and a good amount of things that will work as expected on the default -j1) breaks with -j4.

Apparently .WAIT and .NOTPARALLEL exist, which I couldn't find last time I needed something around this. Though for this unfortunately `make -j4 foo .WAIT bar` isn't allowed, but at that point separate make invocations is fine.

Another fair point. I think I'd use this:

    make restore & (make -j 20 kernel && make reset upload)
But in reality, the kernel target actually calls make anyway, so it's just in there. Depends on the exact situation.
