Think we'll ever see Linux be able to take advantage of coupling facility
stuff?

There is no such thing as a "zOS" (s/b z/OS) enabled engine. There are
three ways processors can be configured on a zSeries system. As a
standard or traditional engine, as an Integrated Facility for Linux
(IFL) engine, or as an Integrated Coupling Facility (ICF) engine. IFLs
can only run Linux workloads (with or without z/VM). ICFs only run the
Coupling Facility Control Code (licensed internal code).
On standard engines you can run z/OS, OS/390, z/VM, VM/ESA, VSE/ESA,
TPF, Linux for S/390, and Linux for OS/390.
You can order a z800-0FL model which has only IFL engines (one to four)
and comes with z/VM in the price.
