The KMS API has a very consistent idea of a "mode config object", which
includes any object with a drm_mode_object struct embedded in it. These
objects have their own object IDs which DRM exposes to userspace, and we
introduce the ModeConfigObject trait to represent any object matching these
characteristics.
One slightly less consistent trait of these objects however: some mode
objects have a reference count, while others don't. Since rust requires
that we are able to define the lifetime of an object up-front, we introduce
two other super-traits of ModeConfigObject for this:
* StaticModeObject - this trait represents any mode object which does not
have a reference count of its own. Such objects can be considered to
share the lifetime of their parent KMS device
* RcModeObject - this trait represents any mode object which does have its
own reference count. Objects implementing this trait get a free blanket
implementation of AlwaysRefCounted, and as such can be used with the ARef
container without us having to implement AlwaysRefCounted for each
individual mode object.
This will be able to handle most lifetimes we'll need with one exception:
it's entirely possible a driver may want to hold a "owned" reference to a
static mode object. We allow for this by introducing the KmsRef container,
which grabs an owned refcount to the parent KMS device of a
StaticModeObject and holds a pointer to said object - essentially allowing
it to act identically to an owned refcount by preventing the device's
lifetime from ending until the KmsRef is dropped. I choose not to use
AlwaysRefCounted for this as holding a refcount to the device has its own
set of implications since if you forget to drop the KmsRef the device will
never be destroyed.
