This enables the use of swtpm (from meta-security) as a virtual TPM in
qemu. These patches extend the existing support in qemu for TPM
passthrough so that a swtpm daemon can be accessed via CUSE (character
device in user space).
To use this:
- add the meta-security layer including the swtpm enhancements for qemu
- bitbake swtpm-native
- create a TPM instance and initialize it with:
$ mkdir -p my-machine/myvtpm0
$ tmp-glibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/swtpm_setup_oe.sh --tpm-state my-machine/myvtpm0 --createek

- run swtpm *before each runqemu invocation* (it shuts down after use) and
do it as root (required to set up the /dev/vtpm0 CUSE device):
