That option only applies to so-called "VM Mode" LPARs, where all types of specialty engines and CPs can co-exist. Linux can run on any type of processor, but if it's in an LPAR with z/OS, you wouldn't want Linux adding to your z/OS software charges, so the z/VM USER DIRECT file was enhanced so that you can specify just what types of processors a guest can use. In a z/VM and Linux only LPAR, it's not necessary, since there's only one type of processor to dispatch work on.
