.PP
This function will properly initialize a kobject such that it can then be passed to the
\fBkobject_add\fR
call\&.

After this function is called, the kobject MUST be cleaned up by a call to
\fBkobject_put\fR, not by a call to kfree directly to ensure that all of the memory is cleaned up properly\&.
