Again I guess not needed if we use drm_framebuffer * internally for
in-kernel clients.

For a high-level design I think the only place where we have to use the
abstract (drm_file, id) pair is for backing storage buffers, because not
every driver is using drm_gem_object for that. But otherwise I don't think
there's a need, and not using the abstract IDs makes for more cumbersome
code I think. Real userspace compositors also recreate their own mirroring
objects as the first thing, since the IDs are all a bit unwiedling to
manage.
