Stefan, are you concerned of not having this in 4.14 and 4.19?

Yes. The problematic scenario is when libtpms  is updated to a version (future v0.8.0) that supports 3072 bit RSA keys and software inside a VM is using /dev/tpmrm0 and things start failing because of this. My hope would be that the distro run inside the VM has a way forward and the long term stable kernels seem to help here. Because of this scenario I have to delay the release of libtpms v0.8.0 for several months.
