If then these should be dummy inlines - but in any case, do you
expect tboot to be used by non-x86 too?

Nit: what i suggested was HAVE_INTEL_TXT - that is the standard
kbuild solution these days. (ARCH_HAS_* is legacy-ish)

yes, something like that. (i have not checked the init dependencies,
so other places might be more suitable - but setup_arch() definitely
sounds good. You obviously want to unlock your hardware ASAP.)

better yes - cleaner, not ;-)
jiffies loops are dubious anyway - what if this code ever gets
called from an irqs-off section? If you want to break out then
please use mdelay based loops and print a warning message if the
code has to break out after the timeout and the APs have not
hand-shaken with us properly.

_cpu_down() is a thin wrapper and there's architecture code that
does the real thing: __cpu_disable() / smp_ops.cpu_disable() on x86.
Plus there's a CPU notifier chain action as well you can register to
via the kernel/cpu.c APIs, and provide a CPU_DYING handler.
(I'd argue for the latter in this case, it's more generic and can
stay local to the tboot code.)
