Granted. But if I were *that* deep in the thicket, I'd either shell
out the 5K for a PowerPC workstation (which doesn't seem to have all
that ME stuff... or they don't tell you?) *or* wait for lowRISC or
similar. Doing encrypted-to-the-bottom in view of Intel ME or
AMD TrustZone has a bit of a futile taste to me.
