It seems as though KVM/qemu itself needs to be patched to emulate the AppleSMC hardware device.  I can’t yet find out of the current Ubuntu 7.x or 8.x distros of KVM include this patch or not.  It does seem like this has already made it to opensuse, and the patch is nearly a year old, so maybe it’s in Ubuntu 8.x or 9.x:  Here’s the patch itself:

http://svn.exactcode.de/t2/trunk/package/emulators/kvm/04-qemu-applesmc.patch

Unfortunately, the author’s website (http://alex.csgraf.de/self/) seems to be really borked and no longer has the relevant information other than the “getsmc” script referenced from the wiki page.  (Not sure if this getsmc script is for Apple h/w + OSX or Apple + Linux)

There is an “applesmc” kernel module for Ubuntu, but I suspect this is for accessing the *real* SMC device, not for emulating one on non-Apple hardware.
