Most complex TPM commands require appending TPM2B buffers to the
command body.  Since TPM2B types are essentially variable size arrays,
it makes it impossible to represent these complex command arguments as
structures and we simply have to build them up using append primitives
like these.

I think a better idea would be to have headerless TPM buffers and also
it makes sense to have a separate length field in the struct to keep the
code sane given that sometimes the buffer does not store the length.

E.g.

enum tpm_buf_flags {
	TPM_BUF_OVERFLOW	= BIT(0),
	TPM_BUF_HEADERLESS	= BIT(1),
};

struct tpm_buf {
	unsigned int length;
	struct page *data_page;
	unsigned int flags;
	u8 *data;
};

I thought about that.  The main problem is that most of the
construct/append functions use the header, and these are the functions
most useful to the TPM2B operation.

The other thing that argues against this is that the TPM2B case would
save nothing if we eliminated the header, because we allocate a page
for all the data regardless.

I'm really not sure about that one.  The header length has to be filled
in for the non-TPM2B case but right at the moment we have no finish
function for the buf where it could be, so we'd end up having to
maintain two lengths in every update operation on non-TPM2B buffers. 
That seems inefficient and the only slight efficiency we get in the
TPM2B case is not having to do the big endian conversion from the
header which doesn't seem to be worth the added complexity.

It would be way more clean. There is absolutely nothing TPM2B specific.

It would be way more clean and an insignificant concern when it comes
to performance. I don't see any problem updating two lengths.

Given the recent regression I'm detaching allocation from tpm_buf and
make it purely a decorator (sending patch today).
