/* Convenient once-only execution.
 *
 *
 * Problem
 * =======
 *
 * POSIX provides pthread_once_t and pthread_once() as primitives for running a
 * set of code only once per process execution.  They are used like this:
 *
 *     static void run_once(void) { ...initialization... }
 *     static pthread_once_t once = PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT;
 * ...
 *     pthread_once(&once, run_once);
 *
 * pthread_once() does not allow passing any parameters to the initialization
 * function, which is often inconvenient, because it means that the function
 * can only access data declared at file scope.
 *
 *
 * Solution
 * ========
 *
 * Use ovsthread_once, like this, instead:
 *
 *     static struct ovsthread_once once = OVSTHREAD_ONCE_INITIALIZER;
 *
 *     if (ovsthread_once_start(&once)) {
 *         ...initialization...
 *         ovsthread_once_done(&once);
 *     }
