That did the trick!  I changed /etc/modprobe.d/dasd (now called
/etc/modprobe.d/dasd.conf) as follows:

   options dasd_mod dasd=0.0.0200(diag),0.0.0201,0.0.0202-0.0.0203(diag)
   softdep dasd_eckd_mod pre: dasd_diag_mod
   softdep dasd_fba_mod pre: dasd_diag_mod

I also removed the two lines from /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

   dasd_mod
   dasd_diag_mod

since they are no longer needed.  I then rebuilt the initial RAM
filesystem and re-ran the boot loader (zipl).  It's working now!
Thanks for your help.  I'll leave this problem record open though,
to remind you that files in /etc/modprobe.d which do not have an extension
of .conf need to be re-enabled (at least for a while longer) to prevent
migration problems.  But my system is bootable again, now that I've made
the changes indicated above.
