USIII(+) will probably come pretty soon.

I have no concrete ideas about Niagara, and don't have hardware myself.
There are people who have the hardware, but I'd let them speak for themself.

USIII has some MMU extensions, the pmap will not be affected a lot. The
machines use different PCI root bridges, but support for that is not too hard
either (given that there is usable source code for them out there nowadays).

I don't know - do you have some spare machines?
