*blink*  What kind of "support" are you looking for?  Red Hat kernels pickup 
hyperthreading processors as dual CPUs and load the SMP kernel accordingly 
(or they see dual CPUs as 4, etc..).  HT seems to give a 1.3-5x speed 
increase in things like compiles, so not too shabby.

Perhaps you could clarify what you mean by "support".
