It should work in the "near future".
As usual, 32-bit SMP seems to work but it's not well tested.

64-bit SMP didn't work for me. Otherwise, 64-bit UP works fine.
But none of the workstations you listed above require 64-bit
and thus I don't reccomend it unless you have more than 4GB RAM.

The main differences between c360 (ccio+dino) and j5k/c3k (sba+lba drivers)
are not available as modules. Just build them all into one kernel
and it will work fine.
