  PVM 370 Accommodation Removal allows VM/Pass-Through Facility
  2.1.1 (PVM) to run without requiring use of the z/VM 370
  Accommodation Facility.This enables PVM to run on z/CMS, which
  does not support 370 Accommodation. It also eliminates support
  for devices that are obsolete and updates the PVM Administration
  and Operation guide and the PVM Program Directory.
