> The TPM has nothing remotely resembling per-user PCRs.

The system could extend one of the PCRs, or an NVPCR, with some unique user credential locked to the user directory. Then you can't recreate the PCR records in any immediate way.

But you can't just recreate a key under one of the hierarchies anyway. You still need to posses the keyfile.

Sure, but can the system context-switch that PCR between two different users?
