A drm::Device instance never exists other than as ARef<drm::Device>.

It is, but as mentioned above a drm::Device only ever exists as
ARef<drm::Device>.

So, in drm::Device::new() we allocate the drm::Device with __drm_dev_alloc(),
initialize data in-place within this allocated memory and create an
ARef<drm::Device> directly from the raw pointer returned by __drm_dev_alloc().
