AFAIK, IBM's "embedded security subsystem 1.0" is only a key 
storage device (Atmel AT90SP0801 chip).
But the TPM we're talking about is part of the TCPA compliant 
"embedded security subsystem 2.0" which supports all specified 
TPM functions, even if the released TPM driver can't use all 
of them (for now).

BTW, why should I need a TPM only for secure key storage ?
Any smartcard is better suited for this.
