Well, that's not entirely true...

For FreeBSD for example, there is code in the BOINC client that only
checks up to sse3:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/browser/trunk/boinc/client/hostinfo_unix.cpp#L587

For Haiku, there was no way in the OS to get the list of CPU features,
so I had to code the CPUID checking manually:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/browser/trunk/boinc/client/hostinfo_unix.cpp#L687

So - depending on the OS platform, the list of features returned may
be limited by BOINC itself.

However, the OP didn't actually state what OS platform :)
