Fast, parallel restore from SQL dumps (mysqldump) for MySQL

I have used the technique that I am going to describe below on several occasions to restore from a SQL dump generated using mysqldump. In some cases, the restore that had taken 2 days and still could not finish successfully was completed in 5-6 hours using this simple technique. Please keep in mind that this is not a pure parallel method but I'd say it is almost parallel and have proven to be faster than regular single-threaded restore.
