After this, you want me to get rid of kobj_map, right?  Or you don't
care as block doesn't use it anymore?  :)

I have a patch to kill it, but it causes odd regressions with the
tpm driver according to the kernel test.  As I have grand plans that
build on the block ѕide of this series for 5.11, I plan to defer the
chardev side and address it for 5.12.

Ok, sounds good.

Wow, I just looked at the tpm code, and it is, um, "interesting" in how
it thinks device lifespans work.  Nothing like having 4 different
structures with different lifespans embedded within a single structure.
Good thing that no one can dynamically remove a TPM device during
"normal" operation.
