New description:

 Do we want to add support for TPM and related parts of "Trusted Computing"
 to LinuxBIOS?

 I do understand that "Trusted Computing" might/will be abused in the
 future, but it has some positive sides, too. It would be a good selling-
 point for LinuxBIOS in security-related scenarios ("secure boot").

 Of course, this should be an option (enable/disable).
