From the announcement information for the z10. Increased flexibility with z/VM-mode partitions
System z10 EC provides for the definition of a z/VM-mode partition (LPAR) containing a mix of processor types including CPs and specialty processors IFLs, zIIPs, zAAPs, and ICFs. With the planned z/VM support, this new capability increases flexibility and simplifies systems management by allowing z/VM to manage guests to operate Linux on System z on IFLs, to operate z/VSE and z/OS on CPs, to offload z/OS system software overhead, such as DB2 workloads, on zIIPs, and to provide an economical Java execution environment under z/OS on zAAPs, all in the same VM LPAR.
