I'm a little confused here.  If this patch is to convert the event log 
entries why are we convert in the conditional statements?  One example 
below:

+       if (((convert_to_host_format(event->event_type) == 0) &&
+            (convert_to_host_format(event->event_size) == 0))
+           ||
+           ((v + sizeof(struct tcpa_event) +
+             convert_to_host_format(event->event_size)) > limit))

It's nice to have human readable format but it may break existing tools 
that parse or understand the machine readable format.  Any comments on 
this anyone?

This can go in the header file tpm_eventlog.h
