Problem: When IMA and VTPM are both enabled in kernel config,
kernel hangs during bootup on LE OS.
Why?: IMA calls tpm_pcr_read() which results in tpm_ibmvtpm_send
and tpm_ibmtpm_recv getting called. A trace showed that
tpm_ibmtpm_recv was hanging.
Resolution: tpm_ibmtpm_recv was hanging because tpm_ibmvtpm_send
was sending CRQ message that probably did not make much sense
to phype because of Endianness. The fix below sends correctly
converted CRQ for LE. This was not caught before because it
seems IMA is not enabled by default in kernel config and
IMA exercises this particular code path in vtpm.
Tested with IMA and VTPM enabled in kernel config and VTPM
enabled on both a BE OS and a LE OS ppc64 lpar. This exercised
CRQ and TPM command code paths in vtpm.
Patch is against Peter's tpmdd tree on github which included
Vicky's previous vtpm le patches.

Added myself as a maintainer for the IBM vtpm driver and removed myself
from the tpm maintainer list. Also, updated the tpm_ibmvtpm driver with
my current email address.

This patch removed the tasklet and moved the wait queue into the
private structure. It also cleaned up the response CRQ path.

This patch adds a new device driver to support IBM virtual TPM
(vTPM) for PPC64. IBM vTPM is supported through the adjunct
partition with firmware release 740 or higher. With vTPM
support, each lpar is able to have its own vTPM without the
physical TPM hardware.
This driver provides TPM functionalities by communicating with
the vTPM adjunct partition through Hypervisor calls (Hcalls)
and Command/Response Queue (CRQ) commands.
