I'm not really enthused about exporting this without making it at least
safe. Using it from an interrupt handler is obviously safe vs. concurrent
removal, but the next driver writer who thinks this is cool is going to
get it wrong for sure.
Though I still have to figure out what the advantage of invoking a
function which needs to do a radix tree lookup over a device local
counter is just to keep track of this.
I'll reply on the TPM part of this as well.
Thanks,
