Yup. To be able to have race-free driver load we need to split object
into an _init step (allocates structs and links to kernel-internal lists)
and _register (makes the object userspace-visible through sysfs and
dev-node kms object lookup idr).

This entire mess is all still fallout from the dark ages of the drm
midlayer and we'll probably have fun with this for another few years ;-)
