This matches my own plan for aligning gem and ttm more, so +1 from me.

Long-term I'm not sure whether we should embed a drm_gem_object into the
ttm_buffer_object, or whether we should extract more helpers from ttm into
gem helpers, or something in-between. But there's a bunch of lower-hanging
fruit to take care of first.
