If you look at Dave Miller's blog, he has the boot messages from a Niagra SMP box, and darn if it doesn't bring up all 32 (!) processors:

This is fine progress. Considering how close to the vest Sun kept the details on the SPARC III processors, it is much better to see that Sun has opened up the specs on Niagra. But beyond that, the progress at making Linux run on it is rapid and impressive. Three cheers to the Linux kernel deveopers!
