Commands can be executed under locality 0-3 and for some commands it is 
important to know which locality a user may have chosen. How else should 
we convey that locality to the TPM emulator ?

My bad, it's a flag that's being added here.

Why this is not in the commit message?

More scalable way to do this would be to have a set of vtpm proxy
commands. There could be a command for requesting and releasing
locality. That would be more clean.

I would think that if someone wanted to use locality it's the client 
using /dev/tpm(rm)0 calling an ioctl or so and the vtpm proxy then 
merely passing that locality to the backend (TPM emulator). I suppose 
the intention is to support something like that following the addition 
of the new functions request_locality and release_locality?

What if we later on want to pass something else than locality to the
backend? How that will work out?

'push' more data in front. 'pop' off by recipient. We could wrap the 
command in some form.

I would find having a set of special commands cleaner. Prepending sounds
like a quick hack to me, not really something that should exist in the
mainline.

Along the lines of this here?

uint32_2 command
uint32_2 totlength
uint8_t locality
uint8_t buffer[]  <- the actual TPM command


With a command code like VTPM_PROXY_CMD_TPM_CMD = 1.

That would break binary compability.

I would suggest allocating CC's backwards starting from 0xFFFFFFFF for
these control messages and send them in regular TPM command layout. A
bit similar idea as we have in the RM.

That's why I am adding that additional flag that allows a client to 
choose whether it wants the TPM command wrapped (or locality prepended) 
so that it knows what to expect from the driver. I don't think that 
breaks compatibility.
