Do we really need such a menu? So far, no other device in SLOF has such
a menu yet. And if the users do not want TPM, they can also simply
disable the device in the VM configuration, I think.

Anyway, since your patch set here is already really huge and thus
difficult to review, I'd suggest that you drop the menu support in this
series here, so we can focus on the basics first, and once they have
been included, you can send the menu patch later separately.
