+== ACPI PPI Interface ==
+
+QEMU supports the Physical Presence Interface (PPI) for TPM 1.2 and TPM 2. This
+interface requires ACPI and firmware support. The specification can be found at
+the following URL:
+
+https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/resource/tcg-physical-presence-interface-specification/
+
+PPI enables a system administrator (root) to request a modification to the
+TPM upon reboot. The PPI specification defines the operation requests and the
+actions the firmware has to take. The system administrator passes the operation
+request number to the firmware through an ACPI interface which writes this
+number to a memory location that the firmware knows. Upon reboot, the firmware
+finds the number and sends commands to the the TPM. The firmware writes the TPM
+result code and the operation request number to a memory location that ACPI can
+read from and pass the result on to the administrator.
+
+The PPI specification defines a set of mandatory and optional operations for
+the firmware to implement. The ACPI interface also allows an administrator to
+list the supported operations. In QEMU the ACPI code is generated by QEMU, yet
+the firmware needs to implement support on a per-operations basis, and
+different firmwares may support a different subset. Therefore, QEMU introduces
+the virtual memory device for PPI where the firmware can indicate which
+operations it supports and ACPI can enable the ones that are supported and
+disable all others. This interface lies in main memory and has the following
+layout:
