Afaik Locality 3 (and sometimes 2) is often also "locked down"/filtered after 
the bios phase.


>From 
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/guides/intel-txt-software-development-guide.pdf

"The storage spaces accessible within a TPM device are grouped by a locality 
attribute and are a separate set of address ranges from the Intel TXT Public 
and Private spaces.
The following localities are defined:
Locality 0 : Non trusted and legacy TPM operation
Locality 1 : An environment for use by the Trusted Operating System
Locality 2 : Trusted OS
Locality 3 : Authenticated Code Module
Locality 4 : Intel TXT hardware use only"

(I know that's "only" Intel's view and not a TCG spec)

Thanks,
Peter
