Great!

I think that would be overkill. We should try to keep this stuff as
lightweight as possible, and I'm not sure if we can give the kobject
"parent" field the meaning we want it to have...or use the kref thing
to do something unrelated to object lifecycle management (i.e. we don't
want to destroy the object when the refcount goes to zero, we just want
to stop the clock.)
