If "-a" is omitted, tags file becomes broken for some reason,
e. g. "file_operations" isn't there anymore.

I don't understand why would you fake etags with ctags.
It would go via "emacs" path, which is not changed.

[PATCH] tags: much faster, parallel "make tags"

ctags is single-threaded program. Split list of files to be tagged into
equal parts, 1 part for each CPU and then merge the results.

Speedup on one 2-way box I have is ~143 s => ~99 s (-31%).
On another 4-way box: ~120 s => ~65 s (-46%!).

Resulting "tags" files aren't byte-for-byte identical because ctags
program numbers anon struct and enum declarations with "__anonNNN"
symbols. If those lines are removed, "tags" file becomes byte-for-byte
identical with those generated with current code.
