 NAME       : HCPBPLBK
 DESCRIPTION: *BLOCKIO parameter list dsect
 DSECT      : BPLBK
 FUNCTION   : This DSECT maps the input parameter list sent
              by the guest to CP when the guest requests a
              multiple block I/O operation from *BLOCKIO
 LOCATED BY : SNDPLADR in SNDBK
 CREATED BY : HCPBIMMS (who copies the guest's parameter
              list into host storage)
 DELETED BY : HCPBIMMS
 SERIALIZED : Unique task execution
              VMDBK dispatch lock.
              BLOCKIO lock
 Notes      : When the guest sends the address in guest storage
              of this parameter list, it may not be word-aligned.
              This DSECT assumes that before any fields are
              referenced, the parameter list has been moved into
              host storage and been word-aligned.  References
              to address fields will cause an exception if this
              is not the case.
