if i were reading the above for the first time, i would have no idea what was being embedded where. "embeds a kobject" where? what's being embedded in what? that sentence doesn't make it clear. what's the current definition for a "struct kobject"?

and if it does, whose responsibility is it to provide one? mine? that's not clear.

i doubt that. i wouldn't say that the ktype "controls" what happens, i would say that it "defines" what happens. to control suggests active participation.
