The lifetimes of all this memory look really suspect. The vbo holds a
pointer to the peer_dev but who ensures it it freed after all the vbo
kref's are released so there isn't a dangling pointer in
vbo->peer_dev?

One allocation is much simpler to understand:

struct iidc_virtbus_object {
   struct virbus_device vdev;
   [public members]
}

struct iidc_virtbus_object_private {
   struct iidc_virtbus_object vobj;
   [private members]
}

And just kzalloc a single iidc_virtbus_object_private

To me this feels very unnatural, virtbus_register_device() does the
kfree for the vbo if it fails so this function can't have a the normal
goto error unwind and ends up open coding the error unwinds in each if
above.

The open and close op looks really weird
