I've tested these with Dell E6400 laptop and IvyBridge NUC both with TPM
1.2 chip by repeating this a few iterations:

1. modprobe tpm_tis
2. Outputted sysfs attributes
3. Outputted measurement files.
4. rmmod tpm_tis

I think these three commits could be applied at any point and would help
with the event log series (shrunk it a bit).
