     NAME - MRIODDEV
     DESCRIPTIVE NAME - Monitor Sample Record
                        Domain 6 - I/O Domain
                        Record 3 - Device Activity
     DESCRIPTION - Describes I/O activities of a real device.  A separate
                   record is generated for each online device that is
                   enabled for monitoring.
     NOTES:
       - Fields labeled by the prefix, 'IODDEV_HF', are high-frequency
         counters.
       - When a virtual machine owning the device uses SIE ASSIST, CP
         does not handle the normal I/O and cannot update the RDEV
         counters.  Therefore, for a device that had been in SIE ASSIST,
         some RDEV or high-frequency counters may not correctly reflect
         real device activity.
       - "SCM Facility Data." Data obtained from the Subchannel
         Management Facility.  Not valid if the device was in SIE ASSIST
         and the V=R specifies that an Alternate Measurement Block is to
         be used.  (Note: this data will always be valid for a 370 V=R
         guest since VM/370 does not support Alternate Measurement Block)
       - "SIE ASSIST Activity Data." This data indicates how often and
         for how long the device had been in each respective state.
         There may be situations that would cause the device to be
         pulled out of SIE ASSIST and later put back in it.  Some
         devices may take longer than others to get out of SIE ASSIST.
         This can degrade the performance of the preferred guest.
         SIE ASSIST Activity Data is valid only for devices that are
         eligible for SIE ASSIST, indicated by IODDEV_VDEVIOP1.
         A SIE Assisted (I/O Assisted) device must be in one of three
         states: OUT, IN, LEAVING assist.  For each state a count of
         transitions into the state and a count of accumulated time in
         the state are kept.  However, since the time accumulator can
         only be updated when a device changes states, the accumulators
         reported in this monitor record (IODDEV_VIUTIMOT,
         IODDEV_VIUTIMIN, and IODDEV_VIUTIMLV) do not include time for
         the state the device is in when the monitor record is created.
         To determine the unassigned time, calculate the delta of the
         MRHDRTOD and IODDEV_VIUSTAMP.  This delta should be converted
         to microseconds and then added to the accumulator for the
         state indicated by the  IODDEV_VIUSTATE field.
