Re: [PATCH v1 0/8] Introducing TPM Proxy device support

Hello,
This series implements a new device type for Libvirt called
"TPM Proxy". This device acts as a proxy for TPM requisitions
that the guest can make for an existing TPM Resource Manager
in the host. The TPM Resource Manager multiplexes TPM access
to multiple processes, allowing more than one process (guest)
to use the host TPM at the same time.
A guest using a TPM Proxy device does not have access to all
possible TPM features. In that case the guest will need to
'... does not have access to all possible TPM features': Is this device
filtering? Since I never used this device, I am wondering what does this
mean? What is the usage model of this device and in what case do you
intend to use it?
Do you give any guest now access to the host HW TPM and its PCRs and let
the guest extend them? That's not something you would want, at least not
for untrusted guests... keeping the device busy creating keys or loading
it up with keys is another possible issue.
assign a vTPM device (tpm-spapr for PPC64). There is no restrictions
of using both a vTPM and a TPM Proxy device at the same time,
but only one TPM Proxy is allowed per guest.
At this moment, this device exists only for QEMU pSeries guests.
A "model" field was added device to allow more models to be added
when/if other architectures implements it.
