Have you considered suggesting running z/Linux on an Intel machine under the Hercules-390 emulator? Many have done this successfully. I realize that final testing should likely be done on a real machine, but it would be "free" to do initial testing and adjusting under Hercules. IBM does have a center in Dallas to host various z-series operating systems under z/VM.
Might try looking here: http://www-304.ibm.com/partnerworld/wps/pub/systems/technical/hardware/linuxdrive I know nothing more about this. I'm just a z/OS grunt.
