This patch includes support for the new Infineon Trusted Platform Module
SLB 9635 TT 1.2 and does further include ACPI-support for both chip
versions (SLD 9630 TT 1.1 and SLB9635 TT 1.2). Since the ioports and
configuration registers are not correctly set on some machines, the
configuration is now done via PNPACPI, which reads out the correct values
out of the DSDT-table. Note that you have to have CONFIG_PNP,
CONFIG_ACPI_BUS and CONFIG_PNPACPI enabled to run this driver (assuming
that mainboards including a TPM do have the need for ACPI anyway).

This patch provides a new device driver for the Infineon SLD 9630 TT Trusted
Platform Module (TPM 1.1b) [1] which is embedded on Intel- mainboards or in
HP/ Fujitsu-Siemens / Toshiba-Notebooks. A nearly complete list where this
module is integrated in can be found in [2].
This kernel module acts as a communication gateway between the linux kernel
and the hardware chip and fits the TPM-specific interfaces created by IBM in
drivers/char/tpm/tpm.h
Further information about this module and a list of succesfully tested and
therefore supported hardware can be found at our project page [3].

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
