I posted a prereq series for this:
[edk2] [PATCH 0/6] introduce EfiEventGroupSignal(),
rebase ArmVirtPkg and OvmfPkg
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bios.edk2.devel/9579
If it is "warmly received", I will do what you suggest.
Otherwise I would like to stick with the non-standard protocol in this
series. Installing a protocol interface in BDS is trivial (1 or 2
lines); signaling an event group is much more busywork, especially
considering that we're already doing that for End-of-DXE. So, with the
above pre-req series in place, implementing your idea here would improve
things; without the pre-req series it would duplicate more code.
Thanks!
