The same. It simpler and is, thus, less error prone.

I did it that way back in 1984, when I first had IOCP responsibility,
and the hardware folks here do it that way today. In fact, in those
early days, I had one superset IOCP and used a REXX EXEC to select which
statements went with which cpus. Our situation was that VM and TPF
shared one set of devices while VM and MVS shared another,
non-intersecting, set. There was one short string of DASD that was
shared by all. Keeping it all in one source file made it easier to spot
conflicts.
