I prefer the BIOS method as well.  If we pick up anything before QEMU
does, we should pull in that one.  It looks like it was committed[1] to
BOCH cvs on Jan 21st.  I'll pull the BIOS and test that it works with
QEMU cvs/KVM and see if we can get QEMU to pull in a new BIOS build and
the QEMU changes to support DMI.
