Uh, good catch Nick (with that it looks like it's since oracular ?!)

And yes, the names may indeed look a bit cryptic,
since these are for s390x specific (so called CCW) devices (here in this case 
disk devices, but there are more types; cio-ignore is to mask out a range of 
CCW devices).
One difference between these CCW devices and devices on s390x, and let's say 
devices in the PC world is, that even if CCW devices are visible and available 
(means they got detected), they need to be explicitly enabled before usage - 
and that is what these rules are supposed to do (e.g. "chzdev -e 271d" enables 
DASD disk device #271d).

I vaguely remember LP#2044104, but need to re-read it to get the full details 
again ...
(Looks to me like this is a case on non-DPM system (that do not support auto 
configuration), that was not properly considered. Guess it need to somehow 
identified if it's an autoconfigure rule - then skip/continue - or not - then 
copy.)
