VIUBK Prolog

 NAME       : HCPVIUBK
 DESCRIPTION: VDEV I/O Assist Utilization Block
 DSECT      : VIUBK
 FUNCTION   : To track a device's utilization of I/O Assist
 LOCATED BY : VDEVIUBK Field of VDEV - Virtual Device Control Block
 CREATED BY : VIUBK's are dynamically created by HCPIAXBL for I/O
              Assist eligible devices when we log on, attach a
              device, redefine a device (if VIUBK did not already
              exist), or recover a V=R guest.
 DELETED BY : VIUBK's are deleted by HCPIAXBL when a redefine makes
              a device ineligible, or by HCPVDBDL when it deletes the
              associated VDEV.
 SERIALIZED : The VDEVLOCK should be held when referencing VIUBK fields.
 NOTES      :
      - When the VIUBK is first built, VIUCNTOT is
        incremented.
      - A transition from IN to OUT is considered to pass
        through a LEAVING state, but to spend no time there.
      - (Therefore) The counters VIUCNTOT, VIUCNTIN and
        VIUCNTLV will all be within one of each other.  The
        state of the device could be determined from these
        counters - When CNTOT is one greater than the other
        two, the device should be in the OUT state.  When
        CNTLV is one less than the other two, the device
        should be in the IN state.  When they are all equal,
        the device should be in the LEAVING state.  If this
        is not true, this should be considered an error in
        the code maintaining the counters.
