Things added improperly to LPA by ISV code (i.e., not by dynamic LPA and not via the supported IPL-time mechanisms) will get categorized in this way, because that is all the information that is available to CSV (and the health check).
Everything in LPA is marked in some way (or not marked) as PLPA, MLPA/FLPA. Since the only other case validly built by the operating system is device support modules, that is how everything else is counted. During IPL, IOS identifies modules needed to "support the I/O configuration" based on information in the IODF. Some will go into the nucleus, some into LPA. I don't know much more than that.
