Yes, we've tested this configuration once when we were re-working the
UART driver for hardware-handshake support, configurable buffer sizes
etc.

We tested all 6 channels ( 2 x SMC, 4 x SCC) on a IP860 board.

See the version of the UART driver in the kernel source tree  on  our
FTP  server; I've sent patches against 2_4_devel to Tom Rini, waiting
for a decision if these patches will make it into the official source
tree...
