This patch uses the possibility to add a vendor-specific register and
adds a debug register useful for dumping the TIS's internal state. This
register is only active in a debug build (#define DEBUG_TIS).

This patch adds the main code of the TPM frontend driver, the TPM TIS
interface, to QEMU. The code is largely based on the previous implementation
for Xen but has been significantly extended to meet the standard's
requirements, such as the support for changing of localities and all the
functionality of the available flags.
Communication with the backend (i.e., for Xen or the libtpms-based one)
is cleanly separated through an interface which the backend driver needs
to implement.
Whenever the frontend has collected a complete packet, it will submit
a task to the backend, which then starts processing the command. Once
the result has been returned, the backend invokes a callback function
(tpm_tis_receive_cb()).
Testing the proper functioning of the different flags and localities
cannot be done from user space when running in Linux for example, since
access to the address space of the TPM TIS interface is not possible. Also
the Linux driver itself does not exercise all functionality. So, for
testing there is a fairly extensive test suite as part of the SeaBIOS patches
since from within the BIOS one can have full access to all the TPM's registers.
