Thanks!

Actually, I don't need the whole ACPI mechanism working.
On the real target, I want to use the power button to initiate a reboot.
Such a thing can be done with something like:
cat /proc/acpi/event | grep specific_event > /dev/null && reboot

In the qemu, I never get to load the relevant kernel modules (like button.ko),
since the ACPI is disabled due to the mentioned checksum failure.

If it is only some small adaptation of the mentioned patch with checksum
calculation for RSDT and updating acpi.S than I would gladly do it (do you
have any hints?). Otherwise - I just give up on this now, and use the real
hardware.
