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).

Does such an option even exist? I'm looking through the xm scripts in tools/python and I see options for iports and irqs, but nothing for memory mapped io.

Currently I'm playing with the memory_op hypercall, using
XENMEN_add_to_phys but its failing and I'm currently investigating why.
Is this even the right hypercall to use for this? How do I deal with the
fact that the device is already mapped into dom0 by default? Do I need to
explicitly unmap the pages from dom0 first somehow?
