looking through the DSDT it is only use in the S002 function and this
one is only used in FUNC (which seems to be some kind of frontend for
all the S000 - S009 functions with even more cryptic parameters, ie.
FUNC(0x1002,1,0,0) is the same as GIRB())

The other functions used are SBL2, which is the same as SBLL except the
	Method (SBLL, 1, NotSerialized)
	{
		If (NGTF)
		{
			Store (Arg0, LSBL)
			Return (Zero)
		}
...
clause which seems to stop SBLL from working and GBLS which is a variant of GBLL with similar problem.
The whole point of the parameter use_alt_lcd_levels was to have an easy way to switch between
SBLL/GBLL (not working on S6410) and SBL2/GBLS (working on S6410)
