For some users of multi-lrc, e.g. split frame, it isn't safe to preempt

via by -> by

default if a context is configured by set parallel extension.
I tend to agree with Tvrtko that this should probably be an opt in change. Is there a flags word passed in when creating the context?

Also, it's not just a change in pre-emption behaviour but a change in synchronisation too, right? Previously, if you had a whole bunch of back to back submissions then one child could run ahead of another and/or the parent. After this change, there is a forced regroup at the end of each batch. So while one could end sooner/later than the others, they can't ever get an entire batch (or more) ahead or behind. Or was that synchronisation already in there through other means anyway?

This is backwards compared to the parent?

Parent: wait on children then enable pre-emption
Child: enable pre-emption then signal parent

Makes for a window where the parent is waiting in atomic context for a signal from a child that has been pre-empted and might not get to run for some time?
