That would be interesting, but it would probably be more cost effective to build a 
card with an Intel P4 with Linux and the JVM in ROM.

I was really hoping that a zAAP would be a bit more interesting than just a 
co-processor running S/390/zSeries code. I had visions of a processor that executed 
the Java bytecodes directly (or via "millicode" anyway).

The zAAP feature isn't needed for Linux as you can just add another processor for the 
same cost as a zAAP.  It saves money on z/OS because the maintenance cost go up if you 
add another regular processor, but not if you add a zAAP.
