Abstract:

  Boot Device Selection Architectural Protocol as defined in Tiano

  When the DXE core is done it calls the BDS via this protocol.

Routine Description:

  This function uses policy data from the platform to determine what operating 
  system or system utility should be loaded and invoked.  This function call 
  also optionally make the use of user input to determine the operating system 
  or system utility to be loaded and invoked.  When the DXE Core has dispatched 
  all the drivers on the dispatch queue, this function is called.  This 
  function will attempt to connect the boot devices required to load and invoke 
  the selected operating system or system utility.  During this process, 
  additional firmware volumes may be discovered that may contain addition DXE 
  drivers that can be dispatched by the DXE Core.   If a boot device cannot be 
  fully connected, this function calls the DXE Service Dispatch() to allow the 
  DXE drivers from any newly discovered firmware volumes to be dispatched.  
  Then the boot device connection can be attempted again.  If the same boot 
  device connection operation fails twice in a row, then that boot device has 
  failed, and should be skipped.  This function should never return.

Arguments:

  This - The EFI_BDS_ARCH_PROTOCOL instance.

Returns: 

  None.

  Protocol Description:
    The EFI_BDS_ARCH_PROTOCOL transfers control from DXE to an operating 
    system or a system utility.  If there are not enough drivers initialized 
    when this protocol is used to access the required boot device(s), then 
    this protocol should add drivers to the dispatch queue and return control 
    back to the dispatcher.  Once the required boot devices are available, then 
    the boot device can be used to load and invoke an OS or a system utility.

  Parameters:

    Entry - The entry point to BDS.  This call does not take any parameters, 
            and the return value can be ignored.  If it returns, then the 
            dispatcher must be invoked again, if it never returns, then an 
            operating system or a system utility have been invoked.
