+/* Call a function exactly once. The idea of DO_ONCE() is to perform
+ * a function call such as initialization of random seeds, etc, only
+ * once, where DO_ONCE() can live in the fast-path. After @func has
+ * been called with the passed arguments, the static key will patch
+ * out the condition into a nop. DO_ONCE() guarantees type safety of
+ * arguments!
+ *
+ * Not that the following is not equivalent ...
+ *
+ *   DO_ONCE(func, arg);
+ *   DO_ONCE(func, arg);
+ *
+ * ... to this version:
+ *
+ *   void foo(void)
+ *   {
+ *     DO_ONCE(func, arg);
+ *   }
+ *
+ *   foo();
+ *   foo();
+ *
+ * In case the one-time invocation could be triggered from multiple
+ * places, then a common helper function must be defined, so that only
+ * a single static key will be placed there!
