Thanks, Sam, Jay, Jim, Harley, and Mark (and anyone else who may have replied since I looked at the log),
There are no LPAR-only Linux servers running here, only those running (RHEL) under z/VM. I suspected that cio_ignore was something related to security (perhaps an auditor fearing that an errant z/VM sysprog might attach a wrong device address to a guest, or poor security rules coupled with use of VMCP would let the wrong Linux user access the wrong devices), or performance. It appears that the performance issue was the culprit, but not one of concern for me with only z/VM guests. I've shared the suggestions with our zLinux admins, who will probably make dynamic updates for the few PoC guests currently running, and the next Golden Image(s). Have to love this list, thanks again!
