For anything "fast" or "quick" I think this really the only
possible sane thing to do right now:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/20240703003033.19057-1-jarkko@kernel.org/T/#u

There's also bunch of other drivers than tpm_ibmvtpm so better
to limit it to known good drivers.

I can take at the actual issue in August and will review any
possible patches then. This one I'll send after my current PR
for TPM has been merged.
