Currently there is a restriction that multi-threaded applications must manually call virInitialize, before threads start using libvirt, because it is not thread-safe. By switching it to use a virOnceControl initializer we gain thread safety, and thus applications no longer need to manually call it. They can rely on virConnectOpen invoking it for them.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
