I agree means here that I agree if you mean only protocol specific
constants. I do not think it would make sense with things like struct
tpm_readpubek_out that is a throw away only used by that one function as
helper (would compare it to a helper function). It would only make
reading the code slower.

It would make sense, for example, to have enum tpm_ordinals for all
TPM 1.2 ordinals in tpm1_proto.h (yes would add _proto for clarity).
