LGR moves guest memory, registers, PSWs, MAC addresses, IP addresses --
whatever the guest had on the origin system, it has on the target system.
While all that is happening, the guest still runs on the origin system.
Near the end of the process, CP anesthetizes the guest, moves remaining
tidbits, and revives it on the target system.
