This solution requires that SHA1 digests are always calculated
and included in the event log, even if SHA1 has not been selected
by the user. I think this is not acceptable in the scenarios where
saving power and memory is important.

I would instead use the first digest passed to tpm_pcr_extend()
(it must be the first also in the event log) to extend banks
for which the digest is missing.

If TPM users want to pad/truncate a different digest, they can
pass to tpm_pcr_extend() a digest for each TPM algorithm.
This is possible with the patches I sent because TPM users
receive the TPM algorithm IDs and the digest size for each
algorithm.

Regarding the possibility that SHA1 could not be supported,
for now this shouldn't happen because, according to TCG,
SHA1 support is mandatory for TPM 2.0:

https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/wp-content/uploads/TCG_Algorithm_Registry_Rev_1.24.pdf

I don't know if SHA1 can be marked as Legacy in a next
revision of the document.
