Patches look good. I did an experiment and tried to rework the code that
patch 3/6 is not needed. You can find it here:

https://gitlab.com/MichalPrivoznik/libvirt/-/commits/tpm_migration_rework

If you don't like it, I can merge your patches as they are. Or, let me
know if you're okay with my changes. No need to resend either way.
