The only problem I see with the way the efi tcg2 eventlog is currently
created, is that it's all done during the efi init.  Ideally this should
happen earlier, especially if SPL or TF-A create their own eventlog.

The status with TF-A atm is that it only creates an eventlog which then
copies to secure and non-secure memory, but it doesnt extend the PCRs. 
We should pick that eventlog from u-boot (or better op-tee), extend the 
PCRs based on the information of the log and then use it as our basis and
start appending events there.

Splitting up the pc client spec bits is probably a good idea. 
What do you have in mind? Moving tcg2_pcr_extend() and
tcg2_agile_log_append() as well, or just the pc client related wrappers?
