Just FYI, abrmd was a TPM 2.0 user space resource manager, similar to the
TPM 1.2 tcsd.  Recent Linux kernels have a kernel driver resource manager
at /dev/tpmrm0 that removes the need for a user space daemon.

/dev/tpmrm0 supports multiple opens and does the swapping and
scheduling.  /dev/tpm0 is the original single open entry point, and
would not normally be used.
