Not a huge deal but why don't we just use NonNull<device::Device<T::Driver>>

So - as far as I can tell pretty much every gem object is going to be using
the same object_get/object_put() functions - so instead of implementing
AlwaysRefCounted for Object<T> why not handle this the other way around?
unsafe impl<T: IntoGEMObject> AlwaysRefCounted for T {
/* ... */
}
That way you can also make IntoGEMObject a super-trait of AlwaysRefCounted, so
the AlwaysRefCounted trait bound will be implied instead of having to specify
it manually all over the place.
