Hi, Sorry for the late post, but just in case: the TCG in fact mentions virtualisation, it's called DRTM (Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement), or in other words "How to kickstart trusted components at runtime"; this can be anything, but the intended use is for the hypervisor. The upper PCRs are reserved for it and INTEL TXT/AMD-V specifically add hardware-support (which is a little bit more than accelerating hypervisors, since the start of the DRTM is security-enforced via various tricks). Hope this helps, even if late!
