The device model is a tpm-tis. So modprobe tpm_tis should create a 
/dev/tpm0. If nothing else helps enable the DEBUG_TIS in hw/tpm_tis and 
recompile.

Did you start it with SeaBIOS and the TPM-related patches applied to it? 
If not, you'll have to initialize the TPM that otherwise the BIOS would 
do. Otherwise the debugging output from the tpm-tis should begin very 
early once the BIOS sends commands to the TIS/TPM.
