True enough, unless you get creative with ESR-style vectored linkage on
the right hand side of the PC call. Once you've got that knocked, you
can add, subtract, multiply and divide one or more discrete PC calls
into as many functions as you need. Hence, one LX (and one entry table)
does perfectly well for all services and all address spaces. It's what
we do in our infrastructure and we never even have to take anything down
to add new functionality. Sweet.

Now if you need space-switching functionality -into- more than one
server space, you're going to need an LX and PC entry table for each
target server space. Them's the rules and there's no getting around
that, but even then you can use the ESR technique with the PC functions
in each server space and that gives you infinite flexibility. Nifty huh?
