  30   The architectural PPI that the PEI Foundation invokes when
  31   there are no additional PEIMs to invoke.
  32
  33   This function is invoked by the PEI Foundation.
  34   The PEI Foundation will invoke this service when there are
  35   no additional PEIMs to invoke in the system.
  36   If this PPI does not exist, it is an error condition and
  37   an ill-formed firmware set. The DXE IPL PPI should never
  38   return after having been invoked by the PEI Foundation.
  39   The DXE IPL PPI can do many things internally, including the following:
  40     - Invoke the DXE entry point from a firmware volume
  41     - Invoke the recovery processing modules
  42     - Invoke the S3 resume modules

  45   @param  PeiServices    Pointer to the PEI Services Table.
  46   @param  HobList        Pointer to the list of Hand-Off Block (HOB) entries.
  47
  48   @retval EFI_SUCCESS    Upon this return code, the PEI Foundation should enter
  49                          some exception handling.Under normal circumstances,
  50                          the DXE IPL PPI should not return.
