     NAME       : HCPSPIBK
     DESCRIPTION: Space Permission Information BlocK
     DSECT      : SPIBK
     FUNCTION   : Defines one address space's permission to
                  attach another address space to its access
                  list.
     LOCATED BY : ASCSPIBK  Pointer to chain of SPIBKs designating
                  which users are permitted to attach this
                  space to their guest-use access list.
                  ALCSPIBK  Anchor for chain of SPIBKs defining
                  which address spaces may be attached to
                  this guest-use access list.
     CREATED BY : HCPSPM - When the first permission for an access
                  list to access an address space is granted.
     DELETED BY : HCPSPM - When the last permission for an access
                  list to access an address space is revoked.
     SERIALIZED : All fields in this control block, as well
                  as the ASCSPIBK and ALCSPIBK fields in
                  the ASCBK and the ALCBK are serialized
                  by the Space-Permission-Manager lock,
                  RSASPMLK in HCPRSM.
     COMMENTS   : The allocation default for this control block
                  is 'VIRTUAL'. If the default is not overridden,
                  this control block comes from and is returned
                  to the virtual free storage CP utility address
                  space. Access register mode must be entered
                  in order to use this storage. The ALET for the
                  virtual free storage CP utility address space
                  resides in HCPSYSCM. If the TYPE= parameter is
                  overridden on the HCPGETST macro from virtual
                  to some other type (all other types are real)
                  or vice versa, the HCPRELST TYPE= parameter
                  MUST also be overridden.
                  Both the address space permission chain and
                  the access list permission chain are
                  doubly-linked. In both cases, the forward
                  pointer of the last element of the chain
                  is zero. However, the backward pointer
                  of the first element in the chain is also
                  zero, instead of pointing back to the ASCBK
                  or ALCBK anchor field. Since the ASCBKs and
                  ALCBKs are in real storage, their addresses
                  are real addresses and there would need to be
                  some way to determine when the anchor address
                  was reached in order to properly handle it.
                  To avoid dealing with that problem (since it's
                  not really critical that we take that last step
                  backward), we simply zero the backward pointer
                  of the first chain element.
