Hi I recently added a link on the wiki to yet another hacked version.

http://edgarigl.github.com/tlmu/

Wraps QEMU into a TLM-2.0 module with TLM initiator sockets for QEMU
to make access to the TLM world and with target sockets for TLM to
make accesses into QEMU. There's a simple SystemC TLM-2.0 example
on the git.
