It supports virtualization (svm flag):

The right processor architecture for CFLAGS is -march=amdfam10.

I only started this page to pass the tip from the Gentoo forums:
Important
With the default BIOS, I think the optical drive bay connector is driven by pata_atiixp, while the hdd bays are driven by sata_ahci. So if you make the latter a module and the former built-in, then the SSD should always be /dev/sda.
