it is StdLib specific and other functions like abort are using it already.
from StdLib/Include/sys/EfiCdefs.h:
#if __GNUC_PREREQ__(2, 7)
#define __unused  __attribute__((__unused__))
#define __noreturn  __attribute__((__noreturn__))
#else
#define __unused  /* delete */
#define __noreturn  /* delete */
#endif

do other compilers(VC?) really don't need this or should we treat it as not
being implemented?
This page shows that there's sth. called '__declspec(noreturn)':

but obviously there are even more compilers than just gcc and vc.
