So if I interpret this correctly it calls SMI BIOS on x230, too:
Method (MLCG, 1, NotSerialized)
{
Local0 = \KBLS (0x00, 0x00)
Return (Local0)
}
Method (MLCS, 1, NotSerialized)
{
Local0 = \KBLS (0x01, Arg0)
If (!(Local0 & 0x80000000))
{
If ((Arg0 & 0x00010000))
{
\_SB.PCI0.LPC.EC.HKEY.MHKQ (0x6001)
}
ElseIf (\_SB.PCI0.LPC.EC.HKEY.MHKK (0x00020000))
{
\_SB.PCI0.LPC.EC.HKEY.MHKQ (0x1012)
}
}
Return (Local0)
}
Method (KBLS, 2, NotSerialized)
{
Return (SMI (0x14, 0x09, Arg0, Arg1, 0x00))
}
FWIW, full dump is here:
