x86 BIOS emulator in Win Vista/7 (Developers)

Hi,
I just found an interesting site (gurus here maybe already knows it) about windows kernel and there are also described some undocummented functions. E.g. I wonder that WinVista+ have BIOS emulator that allow you to make BIOS call and get/put some data to/from 16bit world. I'm not sure but seems it even works on 64bit OS. Maybe it would be usefull for some VDD enhancement for DOS progs under NTVDM.

Here's also example with sources:
