No, but you can look through distrowatch to check what each distro uses, as shipped, but I suspect that you won't find much. 3.5 is about a month old, so even iof you give the distros ~2 weeks for testing (no enterprise stability testing here!) then it could only be (adventurous) distros released in ~ the last two weeks, and there haven't been many of those.

Well, audio support (HDMI) for Northern Islands (but if you don't have have NI, or you don't use HDMI transport, that won't mean anything to you), a certain boost using kepler (accel), but that should have worked anyway, but now give better perf, if low perf from your kepler card was a problem for you (for most people it won't have been, largely because most people won't have a kepler card, and you have to extract something from the proprietary driver to get this to work, currently, and not everybody will be prepared for this).
And some of the changes will be due to the new version of Xorg; you'll probably not just need the kernel, you'll need Xorg 1.13, particularly for the hybrid graphics improvements.
There are also G200/Cirrus support improvements, but they are primarily found in dedicated server hardware, so you probably don't have either of those, unless you have a dedicated server chipset.

Some distros will make a package available of the newer kernel, and thaty's probably your best chance of doing this simply. OTOH I know of now centralised list that details which distros make which kernels available as a post-install option.
