 Name       : HCPIASIT
 Description: Internal-Address-Space-Identification
              Token
 DSECT      : IASIT
 Function   : This DSECT maps an i-ASIT, which is CP's internal
              identification of an address space.
 Located by : Any task needing an identification of an address
              space.  Some important fields which contain i-ASITs
              are:
              RSANASIT i-ASIT for "null" address space.
 Created by : HCPSIT%I when translating various representations of
              address spaces into i-ASITs.
 Deleted by : Any task which no longer needs the representation.
 Notes      :
 An i-ASIT is an eight-byte token, doubleword aligned, and
 serves as a task's internal representation of a particular
 address space.  An i-ASIT contains information designating
 which address space, information defining the task's
 "capability" to access the address space, and information
 defining the method of translating addresses for that
 task.  Since it contains more information than just what
 is necessary to identify an address space, an i-ASIT
 cannot be directly compared to another i-ASIT to determine
 if the same space is designated.  A service routine (as
 provided by the HCPCMPIA macro) must be used for i-ASIT
 comparison purposes.
 The capabilities represented in an i-ASIT are the
 following:
   - r-access vs. i-access
   - Read/write vs. read/only permission
   - For guest instruction-stream references, whether
     guest prefixing, guest low-address protection,
     and guest fetch-protection override apply.
 Translation of a guest real address into a host real
 address is affected by whether or not the address space is
 the user's base address space, and whether or not the
 user's reference is a primary-space or secondary-space
 reference.  Prefixing, low-address protection, and
 fetch-protection override apply only when the space is the
 base, and when the access is a primary-space or
 secondary-space reference.
 An i-ASIT must be certified before it can be used for any
 purposes.  A certified i-ASIT is one that meets the
 following criteria:
    - The ASTE sequence number in the i-ASIT matches
      the ASTE sequence number in the ASTE (i- or r-access)
      *or*
    - ASCSEQNO <= ASITSN <= ASTSN          (r-access)
 The i-ASIT certification function is provided by either
 the HCPASMCI entry point or the HCPACERT macro (to be used
 only in cases where performance is a major concern, or the
 routine cannot call another routine which uses PFXTMPSV).
 Other services which process i-ASITS, such as HCPCMPIA
 and HCPCHCR7, handle certification of i-ASITs internally.
