That is one of the two formats (the old 24-bit address format). If
you use the 31-bit address format, the addresses are stored in the
parm list as two address pairs with the first of each pair (ie: the
last parm flag) being zero and the second being the address. The last
parm has that flag parm as non-zero. This avoids the false "last
parm" issue when the address has the high bit "31-bit AMODE address"
flag set.
