  Produces the Metronome Architectural Protocol on top of Timer Library.

  This is a generic implementation of the Metronome Architectural Protocol that
  layers on top of an instance of the Timer Library.  The Timer Library provides
  functions for nanosecond and microsecond delays.  This generic implementation
  produces a fixed TickPeriod of 1 100ns unit, and when the WaitForTick() service
  is called, the number of ticks passed in is converted to either nanosecond or
  microsecond units.  If the number of ticks is small, then nanoseconds are used.
  If the number of ticks is large, then microseconds are used.  This prevents
  overflows that could occur for long delays if only nanoseconds were used and also
  provides the greatest accuracy for small delays.

  Waits for the specified number of ticks.
  
  This function implements EFI_METRONOME_ARCH_PROTOCOL.WaitForTick().
  The WaitForTick() function waits for the number of ticks specified by 
  TickNumber from a known time source in the platform.  If TickNumber of 
  ticks are detected, then EFI_SUCCESS is returned.  The actual time passed 
  between entry of this function and the first tick is between 0 and 
  TickPeriod 100 nS units.  If you want to guarantee that at least TickPeriod 
  time has elapsed, wait for two ticks.  This function waits for a hardware 
  event to determine when a tick occurs.  It is possible for interrupt 
  processing, or exception processing to interrupt the execution of the 
  WaitForTick() function.  Depending on the hardware source for the ticks, it 
  is possible for a tick to be missed.  This function cannot guarantee that 
  ticks will not be missed.  If a timeout occurs waiting for the specified 
  number of ticks, then EFI_TIMEOUT is returned.

  @param  This             The EFI_METRONOME_ARCH_PROTOCOL instance.
  @param  TickNumber       Number of ticks to wait.

  @retval EFI_SUCCESS      The wait for the number of ticks specified by TickNumber
                           succeeded.
  @retval EFI_TIMEOUT      A timeout occurred waiting for the specified number of ticks.
