Hi Paolo, 

Yes, the front-end is almost implemented in the guest 
This case (as mentioned in 00/15) is very particular. The frontend is actually 
implemented in QEMU, and the guest still run native driver tpm_tis.ko..

So we are better leave it as is. Maybe we need to rename some functions in that 
file.
 __iirc__ adding xen_frontend.c is one of Stefano's comments in previous v6 or 
v7..
