This patch ports the xen vtpm frontend driver for linux

driver is designed be used with the mini-os tpmback driver
in Xen as part of the new mini-os virtual tpm subsystem.
See docs/misc/vtpm.txt in Xen and the xen-devel mailing list
for details.
I didn't look in details but off the bat - you are missing
the Documentation/../sysfs file.
It looks like Kent submitted a patch that documents sysfs generically
for all of the TPM drivers.

I still think you should include the full vtpm.txt in this
patch description and refer at the end to the docs/misc/vtpm.txt
in Xen as the source for the up-to-date version.
The current docs/misc/vtpm.txt in Xen is still the old version. I've just written a new one and am reviewing it. It will come in the next resubmission of my vtpm patches to xen. I'll include the text here for the next resubmission of this patch as well.
