Add a caching layer for the TPM established flag so that we don't
need to go to the emulator every time the flag is read by accessing
the REG_ACCESS register.

Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger <stefanb@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

v1->v2:
 - move the caching to the backend layer since detecting the
   TPM 1.2 TSC_ResetEstablishmentBit() command is easier to do
   here.

What's the impact? Isn't this just a "small" optimization? Iotw, why
is this for-2.11?

The TIS has a register that contains this flag and that's being polled 
quite frequently. So it generates a lot of traffic to the emulator. This 
caching layer gets rid of most of the traffic.

I didn't notice any problem when doing my tests, I guess Amarnath
niether. perhaps it's best to delay for after 2.11.

Yes, I could see there is little frequent(21 calls to backend) to get
establish flag, and this patch will help to avoid them. But i still
agree with Marc and tag this as "small" optimization.

So then let's delay it. Following a Reviewed-by I'd put it in the 
tpm-next queue then.

Can you review it so we have it ready for 2.12?
