Are you asking that LE support and facilitate 31-bit/64-bit "thunking"?

VIO has, in any case, been seen as CPU expensive. Because it's simulating
a device. I would, however, quite like to see VIO in Memory reborn - with
a huge (EAV) device type.
Full(er) disclosure: I wrote a presentation on managing VIO with DFSMS
back in 1988.
