I will check the original reporters kconfig once I get it. Based on
that I can reverse TPM call sequences. Based on those I check if
anything can be orchestrated.

If this leads no results I just send a patch that makes the whole
feature as an opt-in kernel command-line option and call it a day.

I think we can the full next week timeline for this not going to
hold longer than that.

Any comments that are related to Roberto's unfinished patch set
take them elsewhere.
