I would probably just create a linked list of struct tpm_space instances. Radix tree does not make much sense with the amount of sessions you might except to have on a system simultaneously. Anyway, this kind of lazy approach where you clean up as new stuff gets created is probably also the most straight forward... /Jarkko
