These logs come from tboot (Trusted Boot, an open source, pre-kernel/VMM module 
that uses Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) to perform a 
measured and verified launch of an OS kernel/VMM.), and should be different 
from those TPM measurements (from BIOS?) exported via security.

Yes. Since total log size is bigger than one page 4K, the log have to be 
displayed in 4K-block indexed by block_index.
These logs will be very helpful for txt related debugging.
