  Sets the PCD entry specified by PatchVariable to the value specified by Buffer 
  and SizeOfBuffer.  Buffer is returned.  If SizeOfBuffer is greater than 
  MaximumDatumSize, then set SizeOfBuffer to MaximumDatumSize and return 
  NULL to indicate that the set operation was not actually performed.  
  If SizeOfBuffer is set to MAX_ADDRESS, then SizeOfBuffer must be set to 
  MaximumDatumSize and NULL must be returned.
  
  If PatchVariable is NULL, then ASSERT().
  If SizeOfBuffer is NULL, then ASSERT().
  If SizeOfBuffer > 0 and Buffer is NULL, then ASSERT().

  @param[in] PatchVariable      A pointer to the global variable in a module that is 
                                the target of the set operation.
  @param[in] MaximumDatumSize   The maximum size allowed for the PCD entry specified by PatchVariable.
  @param[in, out] SizeOfBuffer  A pointer to the size, in bytes, of Buffer.
                                In out, returns actual size of buffer is set.
  @param[in] Buffer             A pointer to the buffer to used to set the target variable.

  @return Return the pinter to the buffer been set.
