I sure can,  but what still is not clear to me - how to provide the
ability to trace when using structure pointer dereferencing.  TPM is a
tricky device, and the ability to trace all accesses made debugging
much easier.

Is there an example of how tracing should be done when the device is
referenced through a memory structure, or do you suggest that the
tracing should be dropped?
