VMware were the exact people who asked it for to be handle-agnostic
and not GEM-specific ...

Given that we already have handle-agnostic calls like FBs in
particular, I think it makes sense to have this one just follow that.
It's not much code and doesn't really imply any heavy change for the
rest of DRM.
