 NAME       : HCPTCHBK
 DESCRIPTION: Track Cache Hash block
 DSECT      : TCHBK
 FUNCTION   : To provide mapping of a full track cache hash
              table entry.
              The data is stored right in the hash table.
              Open hashing scheme is used with collisions.
  verview and Terminology -
              The MDC HASH TABLE logically consists
              of a BASE TABLE and COLLISION NODEs.
              Each MDC eligible track is represented by a
              unique fullword KEY.  A hashing algorithm is
              used to convert the key to the address of an
              entry in the base table called a BASE NODE.
              Although each key is unique, multiple keys may
              hash to the same base node causing a
              COLLISION. Collision nodes are assigned from
              storage that is not part of the base table.
              A TCHBK is a 3 word entity that contains
              or provides access to the data structures
              required to serialize and process a single
              track within the Minidisk cache.  A TCHBK
              can appear in a base node or a collision node.
              Whereas a base node consists entirely of one
              TCHBK, a collision node additionally contains
              a one word prefix (see below and HCPCNODE).
 CREATED BY :
              Individual empty entries are filled in by
              HCPFTHRD. The frames that form the base hash
              table is obtained by HCPFTHIN. The first
              collision frame is obtained in HCPFTHIN while
              subsequent frames are acquired by HCPFTHRD as
              needed.
              Individual entries are cleared by
                 HCPFTHRD, HCPFTHEX, HCPFTHDR, HCPFTHDC,
                 HCPFTHSD, HCPFTHUD
              The collection of TCHBKs that form the actual
                 hash table is deleted by
                 HCPFTHRD, HCPFTHEX, HCPFTHDR, HCPFTHDC,
                 HCPFTHSD, HCPFTHIN, HCPFTHRH, HCPFTHFH,
                 HCPFTHQH
