This series of patches converts IMA's usage of the tpm_chip to find a TPM
chip initially and use it until the machine is shut down. To do this we need
to introduce a kref for the tpm_chip that IMA and all other users of a
tpm_chip hold onto until they don't need the TPM chip anymore.
All the TPM patches are now in my tree and I just updated also the
next branch so they should be soon available also in linux-next.
Thanks.
