Ah, I see where you're confused. Enabling async support or not, is
something that ideally we shouldn't need to give the user
an option for. Therefore, it's a maintainer command, that we'll
use until the reasons we have it go away.

Selecting non-stop or all-stop modes, is something the user will
want to do (even if all-stop mode gets to be implemented on top of
non-stop in the future), as both modes are useful.

Just linux currently. remote's in the queue.
