It's hard to tell a feature set from the SL kernel version. TUV will
have all kinds of backports in there, and it could well include what
you are looking for. A quick google pulls up a bunch of reports saying
that (for example) RHEL 6.2 added support for Bulldozer opterons.

On the topic of compilers... a while back was the announcement of the
"Red Hat Developer Toolset"; at the time I remember Connie said she was
working on it. I'm not sure if I missed an announcement, but did that
ever work out for release on SL?
