> However, the comments in dec are confusing for the case where PEI core
> and DXE core are both in 64-bit. This patch makes it clear.
> PcdDxeIplSwitchToLongMode is true only when PEI core is 32-bit, and switch
> to long mode to load 64-bit DXE core. In other cases, this PCD is false.
> This also aligns with current usage in OvmfPkg.
