Fair enough, I'll update the description

True but any suggestions on how to fix this? Rename the declaration?

Yea. As far as events are concerned I've found 2 event types:
- EV_IPL: This event is deprecated for platform
firmware. It may be used by Boot Manager
Code to measure events
- EV_EVENT_TAG: Used for PCRs defined for OS and
application usage. Defined for use by Host Platform Operating
System or Software.

The latter seemed better for our case and it must include a
'struct TCG_PCClientTaggedEvent' in the event.
The first member of that struct is the ID which is a unique identifier
defined by the measuring OS or application.
