All your dreams are already fullfilled. You just need to set the SOLID_FAKEHW 
environment variable to point to the file containing the data to feed the 
fake backend.

We have a pretty generic file to use with the fake backend:
kdelibs/solid/solid/backends/fakehw/fakecomputer.xml

I use that for all my tests. You might want to take a look at 
kdelibs/solid/tests/* and kdelibs/kfile/tests/kfileplacesmodeltest.cpp

Regards.
