Two mostly cosmetic comments below, otherwise looks good:

Why those explicit != NULL checks? The style mostly used in this file is
to omit those, like "if (dev->driver->gem_free_object_unlocked)". Same
comment applies to several hunks of this patch.

This part of the comment is really off. I see it's just copy&paste from
the comment above gem_free_object, but I think it should have been
placed above gem_open_object and has nothing to do with the free*
callbacks.
