I don't see how that would work. If IBM raises the price of an IFL higher then the price of a ZAAP, why would they then let you use a ZAAP for Linux?

I think that if IBM sees a significant increase in zLinux use, they might support it in the future. Obviously (to me at least), the pricing of the IFLs is commensurate with the demand for them, so there might be a time where IFLs could be the equivalents of regular CPs today, and then IBM might decide to support ZAAPs and ZIIPs in zLinux.

No, Linux doesn't dispatch work on zAAPs, and I don't expect it ever will. zIIPs and zAAPs are engines specifically created to help z/OS pricing. Linux runs on IFLs.
