Maybe we can use macros to do this, something like:

#define	REFCNT_MTX(foo, prefix, type, mtx_field, refcnt_field, destroy_func) \
foo void								\
prefix ## _hold(type *obj)						\
{									\
									\
	mtx_lock(&obj->mtx_field);					\
	obj->refcnt_field++;						\
	mtx_unlock(&obj->mtx_field);					\
}									\
									\
foo void								\
prefix ## _free(type *obj)						\
{									\
	int refcnt;							\
									\
	mtx_lock(&obj->mtx_field);					\
	refcnt = --obj->refcnt_field;					\
	mtx_unlock(&obj->mtx_field);					\
	if (refcnt == 0)						\
		destroy_func(obj);					\
}

And the same for REFCNT_ATOMIC() and REFCNT_SPIN()?
'foo' could be for example 'static' or 'static __inline'.
