My incomplete and possibly erroneous interpretations of past postings here led me to believe that zIIP and zAP work had to run in SRB mode and I also recall someone else claiming this was a security exposure. Despite having been an MVS (but not OS390 or zOS) systems programmer, my understanding of these issues is incomplete. On the other hand, as a person who worked for customers, I hate my employers being charged more to run that portion of my work that it costs less for IBM and ISVs to support.
