Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] [HVM] [TPM] [1/3] Add TPM TIS type of device toACPI device list
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.2.5.060620
What if the guest isn’t configured with a TPM device? It seems a bit dodgy to advertise a non-existent device in the BIOS tables.

This patch adds a TPM TIS type of device to the ACPI device list which
is supported for example by the Linux TPM TIS driver.
The specification describing this entry can be found here:

https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/specs/PCClient/TCG_PCClientImplementationforBIOS_1-20_1-00.pdf

Section 9 in the document describes the device entry.
