This library provides an interface where variables can be saved and restored
using a file in a file system accessible to the firmware. It is expected
that a platform BDS library will use this library. The platform BDS
implementation can decide which devices to connect and then to attempt to use
for saving and restoring NV variables.

The others changes include:
a. Check RemainingDevicePath at beginning of Supported(), make sure it has been verified before Start() is called.
b. Check IO protocol firstly rather than EfiDevicePathProtocolGuid, reduce the times entering into Start() function because EfiDevicePathProtocolGuid existed on most of handle.
2. roll back serial drivers not to create child device, if the device speicifed by remainingdevicepath cannot find in the created devices list.

a. Add check validation of RemainingDevicePath in Supported()
b. In Star() function, if RemaingDevicePath is the End of Device Path Node, don't create child device and return EFI_SUCCESS.
2. fixed one device path issue in ScsiBus driver.

1. Check RemainingDevicePath at beginning of Supported(), make sure it has been verified before Start() is called.
2. Check IO protocol firstly rather than EfiDevicePathProtocolGuid, reduce the times entering into Start() function because EfiDevicePathProtocolGuid existed on most of handle.
3. If no any child device is created on last time, and RemainingDevicePath is valid Uart Devcie path, go on creating child device handle based on this RemainingDevicePath.

They are EFI_IFR_FORM_MAP, EFI_IFR_READ, EFI_IFR_WRITE, EFI_IFR_GET, EFI_IFR_SET, EFI_IFR_MAP, EFI_IFR_SECURITY.
2. Add new data type introduced in UEFI2.2 and UEFI2.3
EFI_IFR_TYPE_ACTION, EFI_IFR_TYPE_UNDEFINED,
EFI_IFR_TYPE_BUFFER.

Make use of EMU Variable driver's PcdEmuVariableNvStoreReserved to allow
NV variables to persist a VM system reset. The contents of the NV variables
will still be lost when the VM is shut down, but they appear to persist
when the efi shell reset command is run. (Tested with QEMU 0.10.0.)

Add PcdEmuVariableNvStoreReserved which allows a platform to declare a
memory address for the EMU Variable driver to use for the NV variable
store. The EMU Variable driver will look to see if the contents of
this memory range appear to be a valid variable store, and if so
the EMU driver will use the variables.
If a platform can preserve a memory range across system resets, this
feature can allow the EMU Variable driver's NV variable store to be
preserved across a system reset.
In the default case this PCD will be set as a fixed PCD with a value
of 0. In this case this new feature should have minimal impact on
the EMU Variable driver. (Perhaps a slight increase in code size,
but no functional difference is expected.)
