              using the *BLOCKIO system service
 LOCATED BY : VMDBLKIO field in VMDBK
              VDEVBIOA field in VDEV
 CREATED BY : HCPBIO
 DELETED BY : HCPBIO
 SERIALIZED : Unique task execution
              VMDBK dispatch lock.
 RELOCATION CONSIDERATIONS : None

                                        be negative.)
        BLKDBCCT is used to indicate the number of outstanding
        processes in HCPDBC.  It is used to indicate that i/o
        may be in progress for a particular request.
        Thus BLKDBCCT and BLKDBIAD both must be 0 for there to be
        no outstanding *BLOCKIO for this device.
