I don't think we want this, do we?  That's only for API access which
should be available when the TPM isn't selected.  Given that get/put
are TPM critical operations, they should only appear when inside code
where the TPM has already been selected.  If they appear outside TPM
selected code, I think we want the compile to fail, which is why we
don't want these backup definitions.
