 NAME       : HCPNTLBK
 DESCRIPTION: Network Lock Block.
 DSECT      : NTLBK (256 Byte Aligned)
 FUNCTION   :
              HCPNTLBK maps a 256-byte ALIGNED memory area that is
              intended to be used for a Lock that is required to be in
              it's own cache line for performance reason.
 LOCATED BY : Functions exploiting network locks.
 CREATED BY : HCPNIDNA
 DELETED BY : HCPNIDNA
 REFERENCES :
              HCPSYNBK - Formal Exclusive-Only SpinLock Block
 SERIALIZED :
              It is up to the callers of HCPNIDNA to ensure proper
              serialization is in place for the desired use of a
              NTLBK.
 RELOCATION CONSIDERATIONS : None
 COMPATIBILITY AND MIGRATION CONCERNS : None
