If that's what he's getting at then he's wrong, because you don't have
to assign a Linux image dedicated real memory; CP can page in and out
as needed. Does anybody know whether there is Linux support for page
fault reflection under z/VM?

You can define a large V=V virtual machine for Linux and let CP handle
paging; Linux doesn't have to know what its working set size is.
