Some prework is required before you implement your new things.

1. tpm1_pcr_extend() to tpm-interface.c that is called by
tpm_pcr_extend() and make it use tpm_buf. (1 commit)

2. There's a race condition bug in the way Nayna has implemented the
digest list extension. It takes and releases tpm_mutex multiple times.
This bug needs to be fixed before any other changes are justified
(1 commit). Please add the Fixes line to the commit message.

For (2) you should probably rename the existing tpm2_pcr_extend() as
tpm2_pcr_extend_bank() and change it as a static function. That
functio should take tpm_transmit flags as the last parameter. Then
implement tpm2_pcr_extend() that does the same thing as is done now
inside tpm_pcr_extend(). Call tpm2_pcr_extend_bank() inside that
function with TPM_TRANSMIT_UNLOCKED.

You should make this as its own patch set without any of the new
additions. Only after these fixes are landed I'm ready to review
any new extensions to tpm_pcr_extend().

PS I *purposely* have not read any of the IMA links that you have sent
to me. You should be able to explain these changes without requiring
such action.
