2 Block IO protocol as defined in the UEFI 2.0 specification.
4 The Block IO protocol is used to abstract block devices like hard drives,
5 DVD-ROMs and floppy drives.

133 The curent media Id. If the media changes, this value is changed.
135 @param RemovableMedia
136 TRUE if the media is removable; otherwise, FALSE.
139 TRUE if there is a media currently present in the device;
140 othersise, FALSE. THis field shows the media present status
141 as of the most recent ReadBlocks() or WriteBlocks() call.
143 @param LogicalPartition
144 TRUE if LBA 0 is the first block of a partition; otherwise
145 FALSE. For media with only one partition this would be TRUE.
148 TRUE if the media is marked read-only otherwise, FALSE.
149 This field shows the read-only status as of the most recent WriteBlocks () call.
152 TRUE if the WriteBlock () function caches write data.
155 The intrinsic block size of the device. If the media changes, then
156 this field is updated.
159 Supplies the alignment requirement for any buffer to read or write block(s).
162 The last logical block address on the device.
163 If the media changes, then this field is updated.

186 This protocol provides control over block devices.
189 The revision to which the block IO interface adheres. All future
190 revisions must be backwards compatible. If a future version is not
191 back wards compatible, it is not the same GUID.

197 Resets the block device hardware.
200 Reads the requested number of blocks from the device.
203 Writes the requested number of blocks to the device.
206 Flushes and cache blocks. This function is optional and only
207 needs to be supported on block devices that cache writes.
