[PATCH v4 0/7] add integrity and security to TPM2 transactions

[Jarkko Sakkinen]

I would consider sending first a patch set that would iterate the existing
session stuff to be ready for this i.e. merge in two iterations 
(emphasis on the word "consider"). We can probably merge the groundwork
quite fast.
