If z/VM supported virtual x86 systems, that support would make the platforms extremely competitive and, potentially, cause a sea change in the source of computing resource for x86.
Considering the average CPU utilization for x86 desktop systems (less than 15% by some estimates), such support could make for a good match; guest systems that do practically nothing and a virtualization system with a remarkable ability to allocate resources among a large number of guests.
