Yes! It is working here! I tried it with KVM and had problems, because
the bios.bin was not updated to support the extern slic table. I don't
know if that has changed, but with the bios.bin from qemu it is working
even with KVM.
I haven't tried the newest KVM or Qemu.

currently I'm using:
qemu ... -acpitable sig=SLIC,oem_id=LENOVO,oem_table_id="TP-70
",oem_rev=00002210,asl_compiler_id="
LTP",asl_compiler_rev=00000000,data=/etc/libvirt/qemu/LENOVO.BIN -smbios
file=/etc/libvirt/qemu/LENOVO_SMBIOS.BIN

It works with Windows XP and Windows Vista :-)

Cheers
Stefan
