Ok, sounds good.

Wow, I just looked at the tpm code, and it is, um, "interesting" in how
it thinks device lifespans work.  Nothing like having 4 different
structures with different lifespans embedded within a single structure.
Good thing that no one can dynamically remove a TPM device during
"normal" operation.
