OK, you might want to wait for v3 then.  I've got it working with
sealed (trusted) keys, well except for a problem with the trusted keys
API that means we can't protect the password for policy based keys.  I
think the API is finally complete, so I'll send v3 as a PATCH not an
RFC.

The point of the last patch is to show the test rig for this I'm
running in a VM using an instrumented tpm2 emulator to prove we're
getting all the correct data in and out (and that the encryption and
hmac are working); more physical TPM testing would be useful ..

Thanks,

James
