If you can measure please let us know :)
This is all very old it may not actually make any sense..
.. and as I said earlier if we want to 'cache' the locality for
performance then the core code should do it.
I kinda thought the point of releasing the locality was to allow other
platform things to access the TPM, so I'm confused why TIS wouldn't
always release it as well..
