Description

I'm going to try to use a TPM2 in my OS for fun. The table is described here: https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/wp-content/uploads/TCG-ACPI-Specification-Version-1.4-Revision-15_pub.pdf (3.3 ACPI Table for TPM 2.0). It would be nice if there was a Rust struct for this.

I'm currently working on adding this to this crate rn.

Research direction

Read section 3.3 of the linked TCG ACPI Specification and inspect the crate's existing ACPI table structs and parsing entry points. Done means adding a Rust struct that represents the TPM2 ACPI table described there and fits the crate's existing table conventions.
