I am not sure this is the right way to deal with your problem.
The TPM main functionality is to measure and extend PCRs, so shaXXXX
is really required. To make things even worse, you don't know the PCR
banks that are enabled beforehand. This is a runtime config of the
TPM.

 So this would make the TPM pretty useless. Can't you remove something
that doesn't break functionality?

Thanks
