I'm not sure it's a good idea to combine this much code change with the
documentation change. Perhaps split up, at least the function
movement/abstraction bits?

This will pop up at the top level of the documentation. I'm not saying
that's necessarily wrong per se, but IMO you should spell out Trusted
Platform Module here instead of just using the acronym.

(Sure we have "GPU" at the top level, but I think that's a better known
acronym. And we might change that to "Graphics" anyway.)

BR,
Jani.
