Can't we detect this at runtime by reading the ACPI tables from QEMU? (Indeed, if it is a SeaBIOS config setting, how will QEMU know what to put in the ACPI tables?)
qemu will look at the chipset registers programmed by the firmware and fill acpi accordingly. Which reminds me that this only works with qemu 1.8+ where qemu actually generates the acpi tables, so I should update the help text accordingly (raise minimum qemu version from 1.4 to 1.8).
Well, that's backwards. Can we change QEMU?
