I prefer that we just have one style, and just drop the requirement
that multiline param lists can only have one arg per line. I think it
is good to have the first param start on the next line in this case.

  Status = gBS->AllocatePool (
                  EfiBootServicesData, sizeof (DRIVER_NAME_INSTANCE),
                  &PrivateData);

This compacts things somewhat, but still keeps the parameter list
aligned horizontally on subsequent lines.

Regarding the closing parens being on a separate line, I think we
should also remove that as a requirement.

I think you might want to break out the multiple params per line and
closing parens change out to allow for separate discussion.
