John,

The two SVCs do different things.  We use 205/206 respectively and this is what 
TASID shows on my system:

SVC___ Address  Name____ Amode Type APF ESR NP Assist  __Locks__ _Storage__
205 CD 81B88000 DFHHPSVC   31    6                    ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦Ext R/W Nuc
206 CE 880F2078            31   3/4                   ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦Ext PLPA   

If you use the Storage View Facility within TASID and go to 8336e310 you should 
see the DFHCSVC eyecatcher.  I am not exactly sure what the 2nd instance of 
each SVC in your display indicates.  I only have a single line for each SVC.

Regards,
