Just wondering: what's your approach regarding "pending" patches? Accept
them into the layer, then submit upstream later as time permits?

Besides that, the six patches are all fine, so please consider them

However, when I started using these recipes already before the latest
changes, I had to fix quite a few things before the recipes were usable
(will send patches shortly):
- tcsd from trousers doesn't start because of incorrect ownership of 
  /etc/tcsd.conf
- swtpm was more useful for me as a native tool in combination with
  Stefan's qemu-tpm patches, but couldn't be compiled natively
- libtspi.so.1 was not getting installed, causing tpm tools to fail

I had the impression that the recipes were mostly in a "they build" kind
of state, but not really used much in practice. Is that correct?
