How can you give each LPAR more CP's than you physically have?

Subject: z196 Activation profiles

The following scenario: z196, 7 CPs, 1 zIIP, several LPARs.
On the HMC, in the Activation profiles (LPAR profile) each LPAR is defined in 
the same way, that means each LPAR has assigned 16 CPs, 4 zIIPs, 4 zAAPs. I 
mean total: initial (existing) + reserved processors.
Obviously (no zAAP) number of initial zAAPs is zero, a4 reserved.
Example:
LPAR1 (Initial + Reserved)
CPs   4+11
zAAPs 0+4
zIIPs 1+3

Note, some LPARs have assingned 6+10 CPs, the other 1+15 CPs.

(I hope the above is clear, if not please tell me)


Now the problem:
The order of processors is vayring across the LPARs.
D M=CPU shows:
00  -
01  +
02  +
03  +
04  +
05  +I
06  -
07  +
08  N
09  N
0A  N
0B  N
0C  N
0D  N
0E  N
0F  N
10  N
11  NI
12  NI
13  NI
14  NA
15  NA
16  NA
17  NA

Note, the +I is number 05, while on another LPAR it's 02.
It doesn't make any sense, the order of zIIP has no relationship to number of 
CPs online, or anything else.

On z10 and older machines the order of processors looked always in the 
following way:
ID  CPU
00  +
01  -
02  -
03  -
04  -
05  -
06  N
07  N
08  N
09  N
0A  N
0B  N
0C  N
0D  N
0E  N
0F  N
10  -I
11  NI
12  NI
13  NI
14  NA
15  NA
16  NA
17  NA

Note, the zIIP is always after all (Initial+Reserved) CPs. The number of every 
processor was predictable.


Q: Is it bug or feature? Can it be fixed?

Any clue is welcome.
