Use the Source, Luke!
$ ls linux-2.6.16/arch/powerpc/platforms/cell
interrupt.c iommu.h pervasive.c smp.c spufs/
interrupt.h Kconfig pervasive.h spider-pic.c spu_priv1.c
iommu.c Makefile setup.c spu_base.c spu_syscalls.c

$ ls linux-2.6.16/arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs
backing_ops.c Makefile spu_restore_crt0.S spu_utils.h
context.c run.c spu_restore_dump.h_shipped switch.c
file.c sched.c spu_save.c syscalls.c
hw_ops.c spufs.h spu_save_crt0.S
inode.c spu_restore.c spu_save_dump.h_shipped

The Source is the ultimate authority on how well Linux supports the Cell processor, and I'll trust it over you any day of the week.
