  Not sure what trousers has to do with this, but how is it broken or
incomplete?  We don't support the more obscure stuff like DAA, but
that shouldn't affect a disk encryption solution.

  Unfortunately reconstructing the event log is an app-specific thing
right now, since there's no way I know of to append to the ACPI event
log.  tpm-luks supports trustedgrub out of the box but also allows you
to support any other trust chain you'd like.

  Using nvram instead of a tpm key should help work around these issues.
