Seem that is was a bug in redhat kernel which filtered the sep flag on 64bit 
host because of exec_shield=on.
I have verified on internet, the amd opteron have this flag.

So it was disabled from kvm, because if host don't have it, I think it break 
the qemu.

I'll do tests with differents guest os, but I think it can be safe to enable 
+sep for all cpus models.
(But we need to be sure that kernel is last redhat 6.4 kernel)

(don't have opteron on my test cluster) 

I don't known if a "cat /proc/cpuinfo" database is available somewhere on 
internet ?

What I need to check is with physical opteron, as I don't sep feature flag 
inside them. 
(That should mean that we can't install a win8 32bit on an opteron). 

I don't known what happen if we pass the +sep flag on virtual guest cpu, if the 
flag don't exist on physical cpu. 
(maybe qemu filter it, but i'm not sure about it)

Just installed a win8-32 with this setting, works great so far!
