     NAME       : HCPLKWRD
     DESCRIPTION: Defer-lock "lockword"
     DSECT      : LKWRD
     FUNCTION   : The lockword the means of serializing
                  deferrable requests for access to a group of
                  data by different tasks.
     LOCATED BY : Various lockwords to protect specific classes
                  of data exist inside other control blocks
                  and data areas (VMDBK, SYSCM, HCPRCC, etc.)
     CREATED BY : none (lockwords are static, or are "created"
                  within other dynamically created blocks
                  e.g., the VMDBK).
     DELETED BY : none (lockwords are static, or are "deleted"
                  within other dynamically deleted blocks.
     RELOCATION CONSIDERATIONS : None

          The following re-definition of LKWSTATE allows
          addressability to the last byte to check for a lockword
          held exclusive.  This is NOT intended for general use:
          it is used by HCPWAI (Active Wait) for a specific
          purpose and may NOT be accurate for all locks.  See the
          prologue of HCPLCK for a complete description of LKWSTATE.
