I see this update in the online version of http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/ioa2z150.pdf (see p. 12):
"Beginning with the May 2006 version of Licensed Internal Code on z890, z990 and z9 systems only, this restriction has been lifted. With this version of Licensed Internal Code, a layer 2 host can directly communicate with a layer 3 host sharing the same OSA-Express port." So - it is even lifted for z990. I don't know what the release number is for the May 2006 version of the code.
