The pcr_select fields - "ff ff ff" and "00 00 00" - are bit masks for
the enabled PCRs. The SHA1 bank is enabled for all PCRs (0-23), while
the SHA256 bank is not enabled.

Uh, thanks. Can you add a note to the commit message?

Ok.



/* Check that at least some of the PCRs have been allocated. This is

*/
if (memchr_inv(pcr_selection.pcr_select, 0, pcr_selection.size_of_select))
nr_allocated_banks++;

[yeah, comment would be awesome about CAP_PCRS. Did not finish up the
comment because I don't know the answer]

In addition, it would be consistent to call the local variable also
nr_allocated_banks (not nr_alloc_banks).

Unfortunately, I exceed the limit of characters per line.

Not sure what you mean?

---
- chip->allocated_banks[nr_alloc_banks] = hash_alg;
+ chip->allocated_banks[nr_alloc_banks].alg_id = hash_alg;
---

If I use nr_allocated_banks, the line above (see patch 5/7) exceeds the
limit of 80 characters.
