For virt-v2v we actually do this already:

https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-v2v/blob/2fbd578b4e6884a23063ad67ee36f02c4eb6c668/convert/convert.ml#L58

It's pretty much required for dracut to finish in a reasonable time.

Right, for the other tools users would need to add --smp to get the
benefits, but AIUI there's no drawback to using -T 0 even if running
on a single core?
