Absolutely. In fact folks at IBM have told me that. So for example you have a POWER6 machine with HSL loops and you wish to run 7.2 on it, you simply guest the partition and virtualize everything.

Would guesting 7.2, either
- on a host 7.1 partition
- or on VIOS
insulate you from the above statement? Granted all affected I/O (disk,
tape controllers, etc) would have to either be on supported hardware or be
virtualized also.
