Depending on your hardware setup this can have different meanings:

p7-systems are a box initially and this box has (one or two) "service processors" (firmware with its own local intelligence, used to manage the box). This service processor(s) is usually connected to a HMC if you have one and given an IP address from the HMC, which also acts as a sort-of DHCP server.

This box now is operated not as a system on itself, but you define one or several fractions of its resources (profiles) and operate these as independent systems (LPARs). Each of these systems can have (and usually has) its own IP(s).

One or more (pairs, if you use a HMC or not) LPARs - so-called VIOS - are used to provide virtualised communication resources and disks to the others, so that you are not limited by your physical hardware in creating these LPARs. These VIOS(es) take the physical network adapters and configure an outside-IP adress on them, then provide "internal" virtual adapters (with IP-adresses) to the other LPARs. You might also have one or more internal networks (internal to the box all the LPARs reside on) over which the LPARs can talk to one another.

I know, this looks confusing at first. Still, i hope this helps.

serial_cs

SERIAL_CS(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual						      SERIAL_CS(4)

NAME

       serial_cs - PCMCIA serial port driver

SYNOPSIS

       insmod serial_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [irq_list=i,j,...]  [do_sound=n]

DESCRIPTION

       Serial_cs  is  the Card Services driver for all PCMCIA serial devices, including modem cards.  When serial_cs is bound to a serial or modem
       card, it will generally attempt to allocate the first unused serial device for use by the card.	The device chosen will be recorded in  the
       kernel log file, and will also be reported to cardmgr(8).  The major and minor numbers and device name reported by serial_cs will match the
       corresponding "dialout" device (/dev/cua#).  The new device can be accessed using this device file or the corresponding /dev/ttyS#  device.
       The default serial card setup script will link the dialout device to /dev/modem.

PARAMETERS

       pc_debug=n
	      Selects  the PCMCIA debugging level.  This parameter is only available if the module is compiled with debugging enabled.	A non-zero
	      value enables debugging.

       irq_list=i,j,...
	      Specifies the set of interrupts that may be allocated by this driver.

       do_sound=n
	      A flag specifying if speaker output should be enabled.  The default is 1 (true).	Set to 0 to disable speaker output.
