+ * @kref: object.
+ * @count: Number of recounts to subtract.
+ * @release: pointer to the function that will clean up the object when the
+ *	     last reference to the object is released.
+ *	     This pointer is required, and it is not acceptable to pass kfree
+ *	     in as this function.
+ *
+ * Subtract @count from the refcount, and if 0, call release().
+ * Return 1 if the object was removed, otherwise return 0.  Beware, if this
+ * function returns 0, you still can not count on the kref from remaining in
+ * memory.  Only use the return value if you want to see if the kref is now
+ * gone, not present.
