Saw Kens response and to make sure that we are talking about the same
thing we are probably speaking about your patches that currently reside
over here:

https://github.com/PeterHuewe/linux-tpmdd/commits/tpm-emulator

and not about anything that actually emulates directly a TPM.

These are my concerns:

* Should be probably broken into two patches with include/linux/wait.h
  modifications residing in a separate commit.
* Should the module be renamed as something else than tpm_user_emul?
  It's not a TPM emulator but more like a proxy.
* I have to admit that I haven't deeply dived into functionality that
  vTPM provides. What does it provide exactly? Does this overlap?
