We seem to have settled on signal-based pre-emption. Can we now delete the compiler code, such as the insertLoopReschedChecks pass, that is guarded by objabi.Preemptibleloops_enabled?

Maybe we wait a release? I'm not sure, we've had a ton of fun with the long bug tail on signal-based preemption. I've been trying to think if we would ever want to do it the other way, for specially chosen functions or something like that (i.e., if you don't mind the performance hit, it is "safer"). Might be useful in a bare-metal world, not sure.

Will this conflict with @aclements's comment here? #37575 (comment)

Deleting insertLoopReschedChecks seems to fall under the category of "optimizations that assume async preemption works".

Looks like preemption is live now. Should this issue be prioritised for the next release?
