Is fault tolerance a requirement just for the TPM, or is it a general>
Linux requirement?  Has it always been there, or is it new?

For example, does kernel software have to gracefully handle
failures in the disk controller, processor, memory controller, BIOS
flash memory, etc?

I'd think it would be quite hard to code around motherboard
failures in a commodity platform not designed for fault tolerance.
