I think I can actually pull this out. This was needed when I tried to
truely implement a guarante that all the parallel requests would be
running simultaneously. Couldn't ever to get that working because of the
mess that is the execlists scheduler - a simple wait at the head of
queue until everyone joined just blew up for whatever reason. I don't
believe this servers a purpose anymore, so I'll just drop it.
