Unable to extend reports when using pytest-xdist

The following example plugin code fails when run with pytest-xdist:

#!python

def pytest_runtest_makereport(__multicall__, item, call):
    report = __multicall__.execute()
    if report.when == 'call':
        report.xreport = True
    return report

The failure is:

i implemented http://paste.pocoo.org/show/530506/ as proof of concept solution

it might make sense to investigate other means like blank objet creation + dict updating

the mapping might be overcomplicated as well

http://paste.pocoo.org/show/531123/ is more simple

I've tested the fix in commit 6ef58a238376 and it works for me, thanks Ronny!
