I read through this patch and it made sense, at least as far as I could
understand it.  It's a tricky area and without redoing the research you
did I think it is reasonably hard to critique.

Can you characterize the failure modes?  Or will I see it if I add a
target-async+non-stop case to your new .exp?

I have a series here to always enable target-async, which I plan to
submit soon.  I'd like to understand this more so I can fix up my
series.
