It's a good idea, but I still have some problems. My ccidboot driver has
different behaviors depending on whether a CCID card is plugged in, so I
think I also need a timer event to check if gEfiCcidProtocolGuid is
installed to a handle in time.  However, I need the code executed before
the boot manager starts. In my case in OVMF, if I set a time too long in
the timer event, its notification function will run after the EFI shell
starts, and this is not what I want.

So now I need this in my ccidboot: when a CCID card is plugged in, it can
wait for gEfiCcidProtocolGuid installed to a handle, and if no card is
plugged in before BDS phase, it'll run other code.

Thanks
Iru
