So maybe my expectations for rust typing is a bit too much, but I kinda
expected this to be fully generic:

- trait Driver (drm_driver) knows the driver's object type
- a generic create_handle function could ensure that for drm_file (which
  is always for a specific drm_device and hence Driver) can ensure at the
  type level that you only put the right objects into the drm_file
- a generic lookup_handle function on the drm_file knows the Driver trait
  and so can give you back the right type right away.

Why the wrapping, what do I miss?
