   2   This file declares Read-only Variable Service PPI, which is required PPI by framework spec.
   3
   4   These services provide a lightweight, read-only variant of the full EFI variable services. The
   5   reason that these services are read-only is to reduce the complexity of flash management. Also,
   6   some implementation of the PEI may use the same physical flash part for variable and PEIM
   7   storage; as such, a write command to certain technologies would alter the contents of the entire part,
   8   thus making the in situ PEIM execution not follow the required flow.
