Some users at pytorch conference were asking me about whether it is safe to share a memory pool among cuda graphs that never run concurrently, but may run in arbitrary order, if they don't depend upon each other's output. Even though your capture order doesn't match replay order in this situation, this is safe. However, our documents confusingly said this wasn't allowed. This update is intended to help with that. Since vLLM essentially depends upon this behavior, I call it out specifically.
