27The subchannel named 'defunct' does not represent any real subchannel on the
28system; it is a pseudo subchannel where disconnnected ccw devices are moved to
29if they are displaced by another ccw device becoming operational on their
30former subchannel. The ccw devices will be moved again to a proper subchannel
31if they become operational again on that subchannel.
