The PPI specification defines the operation requests and the +actions the firmware has to take. The system administrator passes the operation +request number to the firmware through an ACPI interface which writes this +number to a memory location that the firmware knows. Upon reboot, the firmware +finds the number and sends commands to the the TPM. The firmware writes the TPM +result code and the operation request number to a memory location that ACPI can +read from and pass the result on to the administrator. + +The PPI specification defines a set of mandatory and optional operations for +the firmware to implement. The ACPI interface also allows an administrator to +list the supported operations. In QEMU the ACPI code is generated by QEMU, yet +the firmware needs to implement support on a per-operations basis, and +different firmwares may support a different subset.
