 * one thread to collide with a direct bind() of a netlink socket in
 * another thread, leading to failure of the operation (which could
 * lead to failure of libvirtd to start). Since getaddrinfo() (used by
 * libvirtd in virSocketAddrParse, which is called quite frequently
 * during startup) directly calls bind() on a netlink socket, this is
