Yes I think this refcount can be removed.  I'll make a note for when the 
DPIO is moving out of staging but that isn't part of this patchset. 
There are other cleanups needed in DPIO as well. I've been holding off 
on pushing patches for that until the bus driver gets moved to try to 
avoid complex patch dependencies and merge conflict confusion.
