RE: [Xen-devel] Memory Mapped IO devices in a domU

You probably actually want to pass locality 0 through to the guest, which is 
one page starting at 0xfed40000.

You can do this by adding the relevant mmio passthrough option to the domain 
config file [I forget the actual name].

The easiest way to ensure you're not using the device in dom0 is just not to 
load the TPM driver. Alternatively, modify the dom0 driver to use another TPM 
locality e.g. 1 (the page above).
