I don't think one-shot will do what you want, one-shot runs the event loop
once, what you want is to invoke a single callback once.

You can, of course, do your own queueing from the callbacks, but as most
things thread, this will decrease efficiency further...

The overhead of repeated calls to ev_loop is very low (just the function
call and a few tests).
