I'm using a Thinkpad T420. When I first installed AEM, I had to disable
TXT in order to get any output from `cat /sys/devices/*/*/pcrs`. I
wasn't really sure if TXT was needed back then, but I understand now
that it is.

A few hours ago I did my dom0 update from qubes-dom0-current-testing,
and I got the AEM related upgrades. After rereading the docs on
installing I decided to reinstall AEM the proper way with TXT. Here are
the steps I took and the results (tl;dr: I can't see the tpm no matter
what now).

1. I shutdown and go to BIOS where I enable TXT.

2. Startup with AEM does not work.

3. Startup without AEM. No output from `cat /sys/devices/*/*/pcrs`, even
though the file exists.

4. Shutdown, to BIOS, disable TXT.

6. Startup without AEM. Output from `cat /sys/devices/*/*/pcrs` is
normal. Following docs I issue `tpm_clear -y`. Output and docs tell me
to restart (docs mention clearing tpm in BIOS, but stdout does not).

7. Restart, to BIOS, option for clearing tpm is gone from BIOS?!?!

8. Whether TXT is enabled or not, the pcrs file is always blank and no
tpm commands can communicate with the device.

Any ideas? I've attempted disabling and reenabling the chip in BIOS to
no effect.
