I am looking for a rather soon integration of this functionality (at
least with my host passthrough backend) into the main project.

We could try to integrate your improved device emulation frontend along
with the infrastructure for using different backends while your library
is still being reviewed.
I would post my (rather simple) direct host passthrough backend along
with it, so testing can be done.

That way, we would have the better part of the TPM emulation framework
available in Qemu and you could post your library-based backend as soon
as it has finished its review.
