This call can cause a reset, and is most critical for ACPI S3/S4
resume situations. OVMF does not support S3/S4.
OVMF does not have true non-volatile variable support, so
this call could cause a continuous reset situation in certain
scenarios. (The BdsLibSaveMemoryTypeInformation may set an
non-volatile variable, and then reset with the assumption that
the variable will still exist during the next boot.)
Additionally, some version of QEMU appear to hang when the
port 64 reset is initiated.

Note:
* This only works before ExitBootServices
* For OVMF, variables are only preserved on the disk if there
is a hard disk connected which has a writeable FAT file system.
The Ovmf/Library/EmuVariableFvbLib library will look for the
gUefiOvmfPkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdEmuVariableEvent PCD to be set to
a non-zero value. If set, it is treated as an event handle, and
each write to the EmuVariableFvb will cause the event to be
signaled.
In this change, the OVMF platform BDS library sets up this event,
and sets the PCD so that after each write to the EMU Variable FVB,
the non-volatile variables will be saved out to the file system.
The end result is that NV variables that are written prior to the
ExitBootServices call should be preserved by storing them on the
disk.

QEMU will automatically fill the video BIOS image into memory at the
legacy video BIOS memory location (0xc0000). This code will look
there for a EFI option rom image, and load it if it found. This
allows the video option ROM to be separated out from the main system
firmware image.
QEMU does not appear to emulate the PCI rom expansion method
for making the video BIOS available to the system.

It is not proper for a library implementation to assume the names of function in a parent module.
Instead, they must be designed as the pointers to these two BdsDxe functions and passed in.
