I've run several 53c1010 chipsets on Alpha using >2.2.18 kernels (including one 2.4 kernel rev) without a problem...often for hours on end. The driver is quite stable and I've gotten good transfer rates out of it too :-)
As for the XP900, I'm not sure what they include in the SRM drivers, although I wouldn't expect that they'd support the 1010. So, you'll probably have to keep the QLogic around to boot off of, unfortunately. Compaq (read: Jay) can probably tell you more about whether or not the SRM for that model supports that card (I'm pretty sure it doesn't...correct me if I'm wrong, Jay).
