While I was waiting, I lost access to the hardware in question, so I'm
afraid it's up to you or some other Ubuntu kernel maintainer to see if
Intel "iTPM" support's made it into mainline or else been added by
someone else on the Ubuntu project.

I would *assume* the code's still not in mainline, and an Ubuntu
maintainer needs to adopt the code, either to get it into the mainline
kernel or to add it to the Ubuntu kernel patchset, because this kind of
thing tends to languish forever and a day, even if it makes perfect
sense and would require minimal effort.  (Which is how it looks from
here.)

Sorry, but this kind of thing happens with a six-month lag.  My employer
wanted the laptop back, and I haven't been able to afford a replacement
so far.

Since almost all Intel-core laptops made in the last three to five years
appear to have an "iTPM", it shouldn't be too hard to find at least one
machine to test with.

(By the way, did I really torque someone, or do I need to do some kind
of serious LP karma-building?  I keep getting bug responses six or more
months after filing.)

Also, replying via email because LP burped up when I was trying to file
a response via Firefox.  I'm very puzzled.  It's claiming my browser
isn't sending REFERER or something like that, which is just untrue. 
Hope this makes it into LP.
