David, is there a way to do that test purely in software without
needing hardware support? We know that the data might not actually be
present in all cases... is there an easy test for that case?

I have written a user TPM driver that talks to a userspace TPM implementation
out of the backend.  It's been pushed to the TPM driver guy but I'm not sure
what became of it.  I'll chase it up.

I was thinking of something a lot simpler — like a test hack with a key
type that just puts a *pointer* to the key data in the 'payload', to
ensure that nobody is violating the rules about directly touching the
payload (which should be private to the implementation).
