401When an external entity, entity other than the LLDD or the
402SAS Layer, wants to work with a struct domain_device, it
403_must_ call kobject_get() when getting a handle on the
404device and kobject_put() when it is done with the device.
405
406This does two things:
407 A) implements proper kfree() for the device;
408 B) increments/decrements the kref for all players:
409 domain_device
410 all domain_device's ... (if past an expander)
411 port
412 host adapter
413 pci device
414 and up the ladder, etc.
