This "NEW" instruction already exists, it is called Move-Page (MVPG),
part of the Move-Page Facility. MVS/ESA's HIPERBATCH makes use of the
instruction. Check out the ESA/370 POO (SA22-7200) with TNL SN22-5342.
MVPG can be used in three ways:
   1) Main-Store to Main-Store
   2) Expanded-Store to Main-Store
   3) Main-Store to Expanded-Store
(Note, no Expanded-Store to Expanded-Store; that will be a later
modification to the instruction (IMHO :-) )).
