I think you are confusing SRB's with SRB's. (8-{]}
The SRBs that are elligible for z**P processing existed long before the
specialty processors did.
They are called Enclave SRB's, and are pre-emptible, whereas normal SRB's are
not.
So, all the z**P processing does is now move the work off of GP's. The rules,
other than where they run, have not changed.
