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;
};
