To state a not-so-popular analogy, kobjects can also be viewed as root object in object oriented programming. So a bit like java.lang.Object. Of course it is not a root object and indeed C is not OO, but this view helps in thinking about it. This section from ldd3 lists some of the tasks handled by kobject: http://www.makelinux.net/ldd3/chp-14-sect-1. So whichever struct ultimately encapsulates (inherits from) kobject will have those tasks handled for it for free. This view is in addition to others expressed here.
