Currently it is only one for TPM eventlog, but according to the Firmware
Handoff spec we will use Transfer List (aka bloblist in U-Boot) to handover
different information (blobs) from previous boot stage, so that we will
need to call bloblist_get_blob in multiple subsystems in the near future.

In patch #3, checking BLOBLIST is a temporary solution since we don't have
a good idea at the moment on a required config to enable/disable "handoff
from previous boot stage using bloblist" -  which is separate from BLOBLIST
itself.
As discussed with Tom, I use BLOBLIST as a temporary solution but this will
be replaced in the future.

See my reply in patch #3 for more information.

Regards,
Raymond
