Subject: tpm-correct-tpm-timeouts-to-jiffies-conversion.patch -> 2.6.27

Hi,

is it possible to push
tpm-correct-tpm-timeouts-to-jiffies-conversion.patch
(the patch header follows) into 2.6.27, please?

From: Marcin Obara <marcin_obara@...rs.sourceforge.net>

This patch fixes timeouts conversion to jiffies, by replacing
msecs_to_jiffies() calls with usecs_to_jiffies().  According to TCG TPM
Specification Version 1.2 Revision 103 (pages 166, 167) TPM timeouts and
durations are returned in microseconds (usec) not in miliseconds (msec).
