The description is a little bit confuse to me. The value of this PCD is 
actually the
base address of reserved memory range, but not the range (size). A complete
memory range includes both base address and its size. But this PCD contains
only base address information. Maybe something like below would be better
(just for example):

----------------------
This PCD defines the base address of reserved memory range for EMU variable
NV storage. A non-ZERO value indicates a valid range reserved with size given by
PcdVariableStoreSize.

@Prompt Base of reserved memory range for EMU variable NV storage.
----------------------

If you agree, please update the uni help string below as well.
