I'm not so much proposing the external "simple API" to have this,
but the primitive should have it, so that we can provide a
__async_schedule_inatomic() which does have the option..

I gave comments on various threads from my inbox, but I cannot rule out
having missed one... If you think I missed one, could you send me a
private email with the latest patches you want reviewed (even if it's a

I'm happy to see these enhancements btw...
