[PATCH V2 1/3] kernel.h: Add DO_ONCE statement expression macro

From: Joe Perches
Date: Fri May 22 2009 - 00:28:01 EST


Add a DO_ONCE statement expression analogous to printk_once
that executes any arbitrary statement exactly once.

This will take the place of printk_once so that
DO_ONCE(pr_<foo>) can be more easily written.
