+Manager disk image setup:
+-------------------------
+
+The vTPM Manager requires a disk image to store its encrypted data. The image
+does not require a filesystem and can live anywhere on the host disk. The image
+is not large; the Xen 4.5 vtpmmgr is limited to using the first 2MB of the 
image
+but can support more than 20,000 vTPMs.

+
+Manager config file:
+--------------------
+
+The vTPM Manager domain (vtpmmgr-stubdom) must be started like any other Xen
+virtual machine and requires a config file.  The manager requires a disk image
+for storage and permission to access the hardware memory pages for the TPM. The
+disk must be presented as "hda", and the TPM memory pages are passed using the
+iomem configuration parameter. The TPM TIS uses 5 pages of IO memory (one per
+locality) that start at physical address 0xfed40000. By default, the TPM 
manager
+uses locality 0 (so only the page at 0xfed40 is needed).
+
+Add:
+..
+     extra="tpm2=1"

+extra option to launch vtpmmgr-stubdom domain on TPM 2.0, and ignore it on TPM
+1.x. for example:
+
+    kernel="/usr/lib/xen/boot/vtpmmgr-stubdom.gz"
+    memory=128
+    disk=["file:/home/vtpm2/vmgr,hda,w"]
+    name="vtpmmgr"
+    iomem=["fed40,5"]
+    extra="tpm2=1"

+Now the secrets for the vTPMs are only being bound to the presence of 
thephysical
+TPM 2.0. Since using PCRs to seal the data can be an important security feature
+that users of the vtpmmgr rely on. I will replace TPM2_Bind/TPM2_Unbind with
+TPM2_Seal/TPM2_Unseal to provide as much security as it did for TPM 1.2 in 
later
+series of patch.
+
+DESIGN OVERVIEW
+------------------------------
+
+The architecture of vTPM subsystem on TPM 2.0 is described below:

+|    Linux DomU    | ...
+|       |  ^       |
+|       v  |       |
+|   xen-tpmfront   |

+        |  ^
+        v  |
++------------------+
+| mini-os/tpmback  |
+|       |  ^       |
+|       v  |       |
+|  vtpm-stubdom    | ...
+|       |  ^       |
+|       v  |       |
+| mini-os/tpmfront |
++------------------+
+        |  ^
+        v  |
++------------------+
+| mini-os/tpmback  |
+|       |  ^       |
+|       v  |       |
+| vtpmmgr-stubdom  |
+|       |  ^       |
+|       v  |       |
+| mini-os/tpm2_tis |
++------------------+
+        |  ^
+        v  |
++------------------+
+| Hardware TPM 2.0 |
++------------------+
+
+ * Linux DomU: The Linux based guest that wants to use a vTPM. There many be
+               more than one of these.
+
+ * xen-tpmfront.ko: Linux kernel virtual TPM frontend driver. This driver
+                    provides vTPM access to a para-virtualized Linux based 
DomU.
+
+ * mini-os/tpmback: Mini-os TPM backend driver. The Linux frontend driver
+                    connects to this backend driver to facilitate
+                    communications between the Linux DomU and its vTPM. This
+                    driver is also used by vtpmmgr-stubdom to communicate with
+                    vtpm-stubdom.
+
+ * vtpm-stubdom: A mini-os stub domain that implements a vTPM. There is a
+                 one to one mapping between running vtpm-stubdom instances and
+                 logical vtpms on the system. The vTPM Platform Configuration
+                 Registers (PCRs) are all initialized to zero.
+
+ * mini-os/tpmfront: Mini-os TPM frontend driver. The vTPM mini-os domain
+                     vtpm-stubdom uses this driver to communicate with
+                     vtpmmgr-stubdom. This driver could also be used 
separately to
+                     implement a mini-os domain that wishes to use a vTPM of
+                     its own.
+
+ * vtpmmgr-stubdom: A mini-os domain that implements the vTPM manager.
+               There is only one vTPM manager and it should be running during
+               the entire lifetime of the machine.  This domain regulates
+               access to the physical TPM on the system and secures the
+               persistent state of each vTPM.
+
+ * mini-os/tpm2_tis: Mini-os TPM version 2.0 TPM Interface Specification (TIS)
+                    driver. This driver used by vtpmmgr-stubdom to talk 
directly
+                    to the hardware TPM 2.0. Communication is facilitated by 
mapping
+                    hardware memory pages into vtpmmgr-stubdom.
+
+ * Hardware TPM 2.0: The physical TPM 2.0 that is soldered onto the 
motherboard.
+
+---------------------
+Noted:
+    functionality for a virtual guest operating system (a DomU) is still TPM 
1.2.
