VECBK Prolog

 NAME       : HCPVECBK
 DESCRIPTION: Guest Vector Facility Control Block
 DSECT      : VECBK
 FUNCTION   : HCPVECBK is the primary control block for a virtual
              CPU's Vector Facility.  It contains or refers to
              all guest Vector Facility registers, plus additional
              vector activity counters.
 LOCATED BY : VMDVECTR in the VMBDK of the owning virtual CPU.
 CREATED BY : HCPVFVIN - Virtual Vector Facility initialization.
 DELETED BY : HCPVFVDE - Virtual Vector Facility de-initialization.
 SERIALIZED : Most fields in the VECBK are manipulated under
              "guest vector state serialization": when the
              guest vector facility is loaded into a real
              processor, the serialization is processor-local on
              that processor; otherwise, the serialization is
              guest instruction stream (VMDSIMWT) or console
              function mode.
