2. For SMM variable driver, it doesn’t need to mark the variable storage region of the FLASH as RUNTIME, so only keep it for non-SMM variable driver.

The C ellipses parameters are passed to functions differently
by default with GCC 4.4. To make sure they are properly sent to
VariableGetBestLanguage, we add 'EFIAPI' to this function.

1. EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER as a return value of SetVariable() to indicate it does not support this feature.
2. EFI_NOT_FOUND will be a return value of QueryVariableInfo() to indicate it does not support this feature.

In UpdateVariableInfo(), the code incorrectly allocate a small memory, whose size equate with the number of Unicode name.
Should change it to be equal to the byte length of this Unicode name.

2. Boot time variable reclaim issue is caused by incorrect flash layout. Platform integrator should ensure that the size of variable region must less than FTW spare space size.
3. Per UEFI Specification, variables of attribute HARDWARE_ERROR_RECORD are guaranteed to have its own storage space size.original implementation doesn’t meet this requirement

[Root Cause]
The root cause is that in FindVariable function, original code logic will traverse all variable stored in variable volatile/non-volatile area. If the non-variable area is full and Linux sets a new variable, the caller of GetNextVariablePtr will get the address of next memory block, but this block doesn't be reserved as RUNTIME attribute. Therefore its corresponding page translation table doesn't exist and causes linux kernel panic.

2. modify the method of getting right FVB protocol interface. move the notification event of FVB installation into variable driver. and also move ExitBootService event into variable driver.
3. use EFI_FVB2_WRITE_STATUS flag to distinct whether the FVB protocol supports writing operation or not.Currently, DxeCore installs FVB which has ~EFI_FVB2_WRITE_STATUS(that is, disable write) attrbiute. FvbRuntimeDxe driver should provide a full FVB protocol, which returns EFI_FVB2_WRITE_STATUS attribute to signify itself provide writable FVB protocol. So other modules which need write data by FVB protocol can locate it correctly.

2. when variable store header is invalid status, we will return EFI_VOLUME_CORRUPTED to let code assert, which is helpful to find root cause quickly.

2. move VariableFormat.h into GUID directory and change the “Signature” field of the VARIABLE_STORE_HEADER to gEfiVariableGuid value.
3. merging VARIABLE_INFO_ENTRY structure into the new Include/Guid/VariableFormat.h
4. change gEfiVariableInfoGuid into gEfiVariableGuid.
5. modify FDF files to use new guid value instead of the original signature.
6. all code related to signature is changed to use guid value.

The patch enhanced variable services to support:
1) If adding variable does not execute completely, the state is in_deleted, the next time find variable should have to retrieve the in_deleted variable.
2) when Reclaiming the variable storage, the 1) variable should be considered.
[Impaction]:
This is backward-compatible update.
