Shouldn't we call this just DriverFile? The fact that you derive the Driver type
from the Object type isn't relevant for the File type, i.e. it's not specific to
the Object, but to the Driver.

Also, why does this need to be pub? Shouldn't it be crate private instead? Or
does it make sense to use this in drivers? If so, please use it in nova-drm for
reference.

I figured ObjectFile makes more sense since it is literally "find the File
implementation for the Object" and would allow for * imports without fear of
name collisions, but I don't feel too strongly either way.

IMO: it should be just for code legibility, since otherwise objects still need
to use generic soup in their callback implementations for open(), close(),
etc.
