"I just found a coupling facility structure of type Serialized List. aka
SERLIST aka SLIST.
Is it documented anywhere?

The only documentation which mention serlist is ...z/TPF manual. I
browsed z/OS doco, up to V2R5, but only found good old lock, cache and
list. No serlist"


A serialized list is simply a list structure with an associated lock table.  It 
allows the exploiting application to serialize list operations.  It is 
discussed in z/OS MVS Setting Up a Sysplex chapter "Using List Services 
(IXLLIST)", section "List Structure Concepts" ->  "Understanding the Serialized 
List Structure" and in the sections of that publication that describe the 
various IXLLIST (IXLLSTE / IXLLSTM / IXLLSTC) request options.
