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

  66   @par Protocol Description:
  67   The EFI_BDS_ARCH_PROTOCOL transfers control from DXE to an operating
  68   system or a system utility.  If there are not enough drivers initialized
  69   when this protocol is used to access the required boot device(s), then
  70   this protocol should add drivers to the dispatch queue and return control
  71   back to the dispatcher.  Once the required boot devices are available, then
  72   the boot device can be used to load and invoke an OS or a system utility.
  73
  74   @par Protocol Parameters:
  75   Entry - The entry point to BDS.  This call does not take any parameters,
  76   and the return value can be ignored.  If it returns, then the
  77   dispatcher must be invoked again, if it never returns, then an
  78   operating system or a system utility have been invoked.
