 NAME       : HCPBITMP
 DESCRIPTION: Bit Map Control Block
 DSECT      : BITMP
 FUNCTION   : The Bit Map Control Block contains fields that control
              access to the bits, pointers to the bits, and other
              useful stuff.
 LOCATED BY : R2 at entry to HCPBIT routines points to a full
              word that points to the BITMP.
 CREATED BY : HCPBIT
 DELETED BY : HCPBITRL
 REFERENCES : None
 SERIALIZED : Changes to the contents of bit maps need not be done
              under the control of the BITMP lock, because
              Compare-and-Swap is used to change the bits and the
              pointers to the bits.  However, if serialization is
              needed, the users of the bit maps should call the
              HCPBIT entry points AS, AX, RS, RX, SX, etc., which
              call the analogous HCPLCK entry points for control
              over the BITMP lock.
 RELOCATION CONSIDERATIONS : This control block is relocated as part of a live
              guest relocation (LGR).  The bits and fields that
              need to be relocated are defined in the
              corresponding LGRBITMP COPY file.  Whenever changes
              are made to this control block, consideration must
              be given to any effects these changes will have on
              a relocation.  If any new fields or bits are
              defined, they may need to be relocated.  If
              existing bits or fields are changed, corresponding
              modifications may be required in the LGR version of
              this control block.  Consider also the effects of
              these changes on a relocation involving a back-level
              release of CP.
