has been restored, it will restore the TPM PCRs and then
transfer control back to the kernel's S3 resume vector.
In order to preserve system integrity across S3, the kernel
- provides tboot with a set of memory ranges (kernel
- code/data/bss, S3 resume code, and AP trampoline) that tboot
- will calculate a MAC (message authentication code) over and then
- seal with the TPM. On resume and once the measured environment
- has been re-established, tboot will re-calculate the MAC and
- verify it against the sealed value. Tboot's policy determines
- what happens if the verification fails.

That's pretty much it for TXT support.
