IBM has released a Linux device driver under GPL for its TCPA chip (TPM).
The driver is available at
    http://www.research.ibm.com/gsal/tcpa/

This page also has links to two papers, one presenting positive uses
of the chip, and the second rebutting misinformation about the chip.

These papers, combined with the Linux driver and the TCPA specification
at http://www.trustedcomputing.org, give everyone the ability to
test an actual chip (such as in the Thinkpad T30), to see for themselves
what it can, and cannot do.

Note: the papers and driver do not discuss Palladium.
      Palladium and TCPA are two separate topics.
