Support for graceful handling of sleep states (S3/S4/S5) after an Intel(R) TXT launch.
Without this patch, attempting to place the system in one of the ACPI sleep
states (S3/S4/S5) will cause the TXT hardware to treat this as an attack and
will cause a system reset, with memory locked. Not only may the subsequent
memory scrub take some time, but the platform will be unable to enter the
requested power state.
This patch calls back into the tboot so that it may properly and securely clean
up system state and clear the secrets-in-memory flag, after which it will place
the system into the requested sleep state using ACPI information passed by the kernel.
