I've sent to Mark Post, one of the info reference people
in the S/390 (aka: zSeries) community. Mark should be able to
recommend someone who can clear-up the description. This "chandev.8"
probably came out of the lab that produces most of the S/390 patches.
Their focus is on code, I'm sure, not doc. But someone who
understands the princ. of ops can probably make it plain.

Surprise! The mainframe plugs and un-plugs all the time.
Devices get "varied online" (or offline) on demand.
The situation only gets worse when you're running Linux in a
virtual machine where one could 'hcp attach' (or detach)
things on-the-fly, both virtual and real. It's fun!
Let's just say that the mainframe Linux crowd
has been waiting for hotplug for a long time. :-)
Rebooting just to recognize a dynamic device is ... sub-optimal. :-(
