 NAME       : HCPXBLBK
 DESCRIPTION: XA buffer list block.
 DSECT      : XBLBK
 FUNCTION   : This block is used to keep track of the real buffers
              that contain virtual device information.
 LOCATED BY : Addressability is established when obtaining
              FREE storage. The block is not anchored anywhere.
 CREATED BY : HCPIIR when saving the virtual device information.
              - HCPNSE when restoring the virtual device information.
 DELETED BY : HCPNSE will return the block to FREE storage.
 COMMENTS   : This is a variable length block. The size is the header,
              plus one-half the number of real page buffers, plus one.
