Drop a comment here explaining what's happening in this if block.

The subtlety of why we need a special flavours of await helper, new 
which use the builtin call back storage, vs using the existing ones 
which allocate that, totally escapes me at the moment.

It's probably a good idea to put a paragraph in the commit message 
explaining what new sw fence facility needs to be added to implement 
this and why.

Union deserves a comment as well I think, like this is for that and that 
is for this, and only one can be in use at a time because of the third 
thing.
