PAGTE Prolog

 Name       : HCPPAGTE
 Description: Page Table Entry
 DSECT      : PAGTE
 Function   : A Page Table Entry is a hardware architected
              area that describes one 4K page of virtual
              storage.  In ESA/390 mode, Page Table Entries
              are one word (4 bytes) in length.  In ESAME
              mode, page table entries are one doubleword
              (8 bytes) in length.
 Located by : ESA/390 mode:
              PGMPAGTB in a PGMBK + (page offset * 4)
              FRMPTE   field of HCPFRMTE (31 bit address)
              ESAME mode:
              PGMPAGTB in a PGMBK + (page offset * 8)
              FRMPTE   field of HCPFRMTE (31 bit address)
              A page table resides in a Page Management Block
              (PGMBK) associated with a megabyte of virtual
              storage, and is located by PGMPAGTB and pointed
              to by the Page Table Origin (PTO) portion of a
              valid Segment Table Entry (STE).  There are (up
              to) 256 contiguous page table entries in a page
              table.  (ESA/390 page tables may have less than
              than 256 entries, depending on the Page Table
              Length field SEGPTL in the STE associated with
              the page table.  ESAME page tables must always be
              a full 256 entries in length.)
              A page table entry may be pointed to by the FRMPTE
              field of a frame table entry if a frame is
              associated with the page.
              Any specific page table entry can be obtained by
              extracting the page number (bits 12-19 for ESA390
              and bits 44-51 for ESAME) from the vitrual address
              and, by multiplying the page number by the correct
              PTE length, calculating the offset into the
              page table.
 CREATED BY : HCPBPBCU
              HCPBPBIE
              HCPBPBIM
              HCPBPBSL
              A page table is imbedded in a page management
              block and consequently space for the PTE is
              created when the PGMBK is created.
              At initialization time, information for CP pagable
              initialization modules is put in PTEs by HCPISTOR.
              After initialization, the infromation within each
              PTE is filled in my HCPTRANS.
 DELETED BY : HCPRCIRL
              HCPRPBPA
              HCPRPBPS
              HCPRPBRM
              HCPRPBSL
              A page table is deleted when a page management
              block is released.

     because MDC uses compact page tables (4 page tables per frame).
