That's been the default for new installations on z/VM for a while now.
However, if a system was upgraded from a version prior to that, the
cio_ignore parameter will still be in your kernel parameters, and can
cause problems like this. (Or, if someone chose to activate device
blacklisting during a new install.)

Check /proc/cmdline to see if it's there. If it is, remove it from
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg, and /etc/default/grub so that the next time you
reboot things should be more reasonable.

I'm not sure why you would get that impression from that page. The only
references I see to z/VM on that page relate to adding devices to the
cio_ignore list after booting, and what happens if that device is
detached and later re-attached.
