Add parallel test runner 
The new test runner will evaluate all test profiles from the README.md
in parallel in separate nix-build processes.
Since we do not load all processes into one process,
this also helps saving memory.

Status

The code in master as of June 2015 should be able to prepare a bootable NixOS for Raspberry PI 2.

There are still some drawbacks:

NixOS does not provide a /boot/config.txt (the FAT32 partition). Making NixOS work in the Raspberry PI 2 is mainly the result of the recent work of ambro718, Dezgeg and viric (#nixos@irc.freenode.net).

Download

If you want to test, you can flash this 4GB SD image (DOS partition table + fat32 + ext4 rootfs):

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:0def3f6acb3bceddb22cb24098f58e40e2853ec2&dn=rpi2-nixos-4b09501f2-img.xz&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80

Then you should be able to nixos-rebuild any configuration.nix changes.

The image is the result of a "nixos-install" alone. No root password has been set, and it does not include a nixpkgs checkout or channel. In fact I (viric) created the FS into a NBD, not a real SD, to create this image.
