I think that's a starting point, but it doesn't seem sufficient for some 
of the cases I care about. For instance, measuring boot state isn't just 
about the files that are read - we also need to measure the commands 
that grub runs and the command line passed to the kernel, for instance. 
Ideally we'd also have more context available in order to make a better 
decision about which PCR to measure something into, but I can't think of 
a good way to do that simply by hooking open. That also seems to make it 
difficult to implement a handler that should only be verifying some 
objects - for instance, a UEFI secure boot handler only wants to verify 
the kernel (or something that's chainloaded) and ignore everything else.
