     NAME       : HCPPSIBK
     DESCRIPTION: Previous System Image block
     DSECT      : PSIBK
     FUNCTION   : Defines a mapping for an area of storage that
                  contains information saved over a bounce when
                  the new image is not same version, release,
                  modification level, and architecture as the
                  previous running system.
     LOCATED BY : Entry Point HCPLODPS is where it exists.
                  Temporarily exists in HCPBOU's work page during
                  bounce processing.
     CREATED BY : HCPBOU  Creates a PSIBK with information about the
                  system that was running.
                  HCPLOD  Creates a PSIBK from the one passed by HCPBOU
                  or creates a PSIBK on its own if
                  HCPBOU does not pass one (bounce from old
                  version of CP).
     DELETED BY : Never deleted. Storage is located within HCPLOD.
     SERIALIZED : Used only during single-threaded
                  initialization and termination processing.
     RELOCATION CONSIDERATIONS : None
     COMMENTS   : If PSINAME is not "HCPPSIBK", the rest of the block
                  is not valid, which means that this was a system IPL
                  from the system console.
                  If PSIABEND is zero, the restart was because of a
                  SHUTDOWN REIPL command.
