Not knowing the m360 scc's in details .. Are the two SCCs similar 
enough that the libchip trick of wrapping a core chunk and passing 
instantiation specific data (like base address and state) in to 
support routines would work?

Check out the libchip/network/sonic* and powerpc/dmv177/network
to see one way to do this.
