Please Cc people who were previously involved in defining 
drm-usage-stats.rst. I added Rob, but I am not sure if I forgot someone 
from the top of my head.

Internal as a category sounds potentially useful. One reservation I have 
though is itdoes not necessarily fit with the others but is something 
semantically different from them.

In i915 I had the similar desire to account for internal objects and 
have approached it by similarly tracking them outside the DRM idr but 
counting them under the existing respective categories and memory 
regions. Ie. internal objects can also be purgeable or not, etc, and can 
be backed by either system memory or device local memory.

Advantage is it is more accurate in those aspect and does not require 
adding a new category.

Downside of this is that 'internal' is bunched with the explicit 
userspace objects so perhaps less accurate in this other aspect.

Tvrtko
