I agree w/ your concern and the proposed placement.
This omission has caused a lot of confusion.

Subject: [edk2] EndOfDxe?

I see that more and more drivers are adding callbacks for the PI-defined
EndOfDxe event group. However, none of the EDK2 implementations signal this
event group. As a result, we are seeing widely varying implementations as to
its placement, and a lot of assumptions about what is completed at that
point. For example, is PCI enumeration complete? IMO, you can't assume that
because no UEFI devices have been connected. As  the PI spec says: " Prior
to invoking any UEFI drivers, applications, or connecting consoles, the
platform should signal the event EFI_END_OF_DXE_EVENT_GUID." 

So it seems appropriate that the signaling of this event should be
immediately upon calling the BdsEntry() function in BdsDxe.

Thoughts?

Tim
