Curiously the current code does call TPM_SaveState on suspend, but
relies on the BIOS to do TPM_Startup(ST_STATE) on resume, why the
asymmetry?

Anyhow, I think the thing would be something like this. I have no
means to test TPM suspend, so I'll just post this as a note here. It
will apply over v2 of my patch.
