In fact, only the R5000 is well tested.

The R10000 has a weird brokenness on non-I/O-coherent machines which
prevents reliable operation without a workaround in the kernel/the
compiler for the kernel. IOW, glaurung's kernel won't work reliable
(but survives surprisingly long, I heard). Peter Fuerst works upstream
on the same problem, but on a Indigo2 R10000, so there's some progress
in this area.
