On ARM64 it's called Image.gz.

This should probably be x86/vTPM. TPM, the way we are discussing it, is
an x86-only implementation. ARM-based alternatives are not called TPM
AFAIK.

Someone said that because this was implemented entirely in userspace,
there's no reason the PV TPM couldn't work on ARM.  OTOH I suppose it
would be a lot less valuable if there weren't a physical TPM to back it up.

Any thoughts on that?

Per my understanding TPM is a specification and not tie to Arm, x86 or else. So if providing the PV driver is agnostic to x86 it should work. Note that I haven't looked at the code nor I am aware of some that tested it.
