Hmmm... possibly. But that would make someone using the ioctl() (which is
still available) have to use the config-tsm support to get the value. If
the overall consensus is not to have a sysfs entry, I'll remove it, but it
could be useful beyond just attestation.
Your comment does make me realize that I did miss changing privlevel_floor
for the TSM support. I need to set privlevel_floor to the current VMPL level.
Thanks,
Tom
