This is where the generation I suggested adding would get checked. If
the instance certs' generation is not the global generation, then I
think we need a way to return to the VMM to make that right before
continuing to provide outdated certificates.
This might be an unreasonable request, but the fact that the certs and
reported_tcb can be set while a VM is running makes this an issue.
