PMFJI here, but one crucial misunderstanding you may have -- z/Linux does *not* run under z/OS. z/Linux runs in its own virtual machine under z/VM (or on a bare LPAR), z/OS runs in its own separate LPAR (though you *can* run z/OS in a virtual machine under z/VM, you probably wouldn't want to for performance reasons).
IOW, Oracle will run in a separate z/Linux under z/VM in the LPAR that z/VM runs on (can be on an IFL). You will still need communications between the Oracle under z/Linux and your z/OS applications just as you do today, but the communications can be internal to the CEC instead of over an external network.
