ALEBK Prolog

 Name       : HCPALEBK
 Description: Access List Entry
 DSECT      : ALEBK
 Function   : ALEBK maps the storage associated with one entry
              of an Access List.  The entries are used in
              access register translation.
 Located by : Access register translation.
              An Access List Entry is part of an Access List Entry
              Table. The beginning of the table is pointed to by
              an entry in the Dispatchable Unit Control Table
              (DUCT) or by the primary ASN Second Table Entry
              (ASTE).  The access list entry table is indexed into
              by an access list entry number (ALETEN).
 Created by : ALEs designating entries in access lists created and
              managed by CP are formed by HCPALMAD.
 Deleted by : ALEs designating entries in access lists created and
              managed by CP are deleted by HCPALMDL.
 Serialized : This DSECT is to map guest storage, the user of
              the DSECT is responsible for serialization.
              It also maps ALEs in access lists created and managed
              by CP.  The ALCBK lock (ALCLOCK) is the serialization
              for changes to those entries.

     ALERPGR1 has two programming use definitions, one for use in the CP-use
     access list (ALENTDSP) and one for use in guest access lists
     (ALEPFAUL). Since an individual Access List Entry cannot be in both
     types of list at once, these two redefinitions of ALERPRG1 do not
     overlap.
