This was my reply to the comment the last time:

    I can do that, but I think this should be higher than debug.  If
    this trips, something an application was doing will fail with a non
    TPM error and someone may wish to investigate why.  Having a kernel
    message would help with that (but they won't see it if it's debug).

    I'm also leaning towards the idea that we should actually have one
    more _tbl slot than we know the TPM does, so that if someone goes
    over it's the TPM that gives them a real TPM out of memory error
    rather than the space code returning -ENOMEM.

    If you agree, I think it should be four for both sessions_tbl and
    context_tbl.

So I really don't think it should be debug.  Could we compromise on
dev_info?

James
