Nothing that ought to be rushed.

I'm speaking about this situation:

1. TPM 1.x trusted keys code is inside keyring subsystem.
2. TPM 2.0 trusted keys code is inside tpm subsystem.

We are doing effort to make TPM subsystem more friendly to send custom
commands outside (tpm_buf, my unnesting effort in progress, Tomas' clean
ups for TPM 1.x code) so I'm more dilated to the 2nd option.
