A frequent mode of operation is fanning out N tasks to execute in
parallel, collating results, fanning out M tasks, rinse and repeat. This
is also common to the notion of the async/sync kernel domain split.
A barrier provides a mechanism by which all work queued after the
barrier must wait (i.e. not be scheduled) until all work queued before the
barrier is completed.
