  This file declares Read-only Variable Service PPI\r
  These services provide a lightweight, read-only variant of the full EFI variable services. The\r
  reason that these services are read-only is to reduce the complexity of flash management. Also,\r
  some implementation of the PEI may use the same physical flash part for variable and PEIM\r
  storage; as such, a write command to certain technologies would alter the contents of the entire part,\r
  thus making the in situ PEIM execution not follow the required flow.\r
