When a pre-emptible SRB is created a "secret handshake"  (an API) is used to 
make it eligible to be dispatched on a zIIP; if the work is not zIIP eligible 
or if there are no zIIPs available the work is dispatched on a CP. The 
documentation to use the API is available to ISVs who sign an NDA. It is not 
publically available.

>what if it is running as a TCB in a non-zIIP enabled machine ?.
I think this question is based on my misstatement. zIIP-eligible work does not 
run in TCB mode when a zIIP isn’t available so as far as zIIP usage is 
concerned this question is a  non sequitur.   Sorry for the confusion.

No idea. I'm sure Al can explain.
