Arguably the BIOS should have completed the selftest - this stuff
generally only exists to support embedded.

I don't like the idea of EAGAIN, that just expose all our users to
this mess.

I would support making transmit_cmd genericly wait and retry if the
TPM insists we need to wait for selftest to complete the specific
command though.
