Wouldn't the code needed to support a zIIP or zAAP have to be added to Linux
and available to all?
Yes, so IBM probably won't do it.
I would think that this is a 'trade secret' for IBM and one they would prefer
to control/license as they are with zIIP for z/OS workloads
I agree.
(zAAP appears to be a little more generic).
I don't know what you mean the only difference between a zIIP and a zAAp is
they do different things.
And, they are supported only by z/OS.
Expecting zLINUX to support them is a | dream.
So far I've not seen anything to suggest that IBM cannot, should not
make the three interchangeable.
Same hardware, different firmware I gather. Why not give the customer
the choice of which microcode to IMPL?
