The move of aspects of this device into its own class puts it line with all the other devices in regards to handling of properties: uuid, driver_type, VM reference to where backend is located, its instance number etc.. If I now interpret the usage of for example the VTPM.create() method correctly, then a VM with an associated vTPM needs to have this method for getting an approriate entry written into its VM configuration file.

In the future extensions could be used to manage the actual state of a TPM, for example its owner password etc.
