Typically you take xstore as 20% of the total. There is little penalty if you have a bit too much, so I don't expect a need in real life to tinker with the ratio. So in theory CP could at IPL just draw a dotted line and do it like that. It's a matter of where you want to invest your development resources. Do we want new and exiting function like Live Guest Migration? Or do we want IBM to re-implement something we already had for 20 years, that has worked fine and has been tested and is well understood? Just to get rid of something trivial as defining the storage for the LPAR ? When they put the paging stuff upside down there a hole lot of things to be measured and tested.
