CoreAllocatePoolPages() could not be updated simply by adding 
CoreAcquireMemoryLock() and CoreReleaseMemoryLock(), it is also used by 
AllocateMemoryMapEntry() with the lock locked.

Thanks,

Subject: RE: [PATCH v3 4/6] MdeModulePkg/DxeCore: use separate lock for pool 
allocations

Ard:
  I agree to separate lock for pool allocations. I suggest you update 
CoreAllocatePoolPages() and CoreFreePoolPages() implementation by adding 
CoreAcquireMemoryLock() and CoreReleaseMemoryLock(). If so, you don't need to 
introduce new CoreAllocatePoolPagesI () and CoreFreePoolPagesI (). 

Thanks
Liming
