Yes. The "if required, z/VM applications in support of those Linux workloads" would cover that if necessary. However, running a second-level z/VM is a _very_ long-established (and IBM recommended) method of installing and testing maintenance. IBM isn't about to make that unavailable to the z/VM systems programmers.
