On Lenovo Ideapad U150, the touchpad supports two-finger vertical and 
horizontal scroll, after executing the following commands:
xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger 
Pressure" 32 10
xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Width" 
32 8
xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Two-Finger Scrolling" 8 1
xinput set-int-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger 
Scrolling" 8 1 1

As two-finger scroll works flawlessly using xinput to configure the
touchpad it does not seem probable to me that the kernel is reporting
the device as not supporting multitouch.

The problem seem to be the applications that are included in the distribution 
for configuring the pointing devices:
* In gnome-mouse-properties the Two-Finger-Scrolling option in Touchpad 
settings tab is greyed out, so the application cannot be used to activate 
two-finger scroll.
* In gpointing-device-settings, the one can activate the options, but with no 
effect; two-finger scroll does not work.
