/** @file
Provides primitives to allocate and free memory buffers of various memory types and alignments.
The Phase Memory Allocation Library abstracts primitive memory allocation operations. This library
allows code to be written in a phase-independent manner because the allocation of memory in PEI, DXE,
and SMM (for example) is done via a different mechanism. Using a common library interface makes it
much easier to port algorithms from phase to phase.

Frees one or more 4KB pages that were previously allocated with one of the page allocation

Frees the number of 4KB pages specified by Pages from the buffer specified by Buffer.
Buffer must have been allocated on a previous call to the page allocation services
of the Memory Allocation Library. If it is not possible to free allocated pages,
then this function will perform no actions.
If Buffer was not allocated with a page allocation function in the Memory Allocation
Library, then ASSERT().
If Pages is zero, then ASSERT().
@param Memory The base physical address of the pages to be freed.
@param Pages The number of 4 KB pages to free.
