Hi Ersek
That is just my thought, and I have no solid time frame at this moment, to be 
honest.
If you have time to do the cleanup, please just go ahead.
I appreciate your help on that, and I will be happy to review your code change.

I am sorry that I did not realize that OVMF has a its own AcpiS3Save driver. 
Maybe I miss some email before.
In most case, we expect people feedback the limitation to us, before duplicate 
a generic driver in its own package and update.
Then if we have a way to resolve the limitation, we can update the generic 
driver.

In OVMF, may I know:
1) Why we need install gEfiLockBoxProtocolGuid in AcpiS3Save driver?
2) Why we need call SaveS3BootScript() in AcpiS3Save driver, and install 
gEfiDxeSmmReadyToLockProtocolGuid?
It looks weird to me. But I guess there must be some reason behind, I am not 
aware of.

Thank you
Yao Jiewen

Do you have a time frame in mind?

Especially in relation to:

  [edk2] [PATCH] IntelFrameworkModulePkg/GenericBdsLib: remove
                 AcpiS3->S3Save() call
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bios.tianocore.devel/16153

Because, once that patch goes in, S3 will be broken in OVMF. It will have to be 
fixed. I could fix it up according to the current state of the tree, *or* 
according to the "better design" above.

> Then this module eliminates IntelFrameworkPkg dependency and can be moved to

This idea raises further questions. (Because, "OvmfPkg/AcpiS3SaveDxe" is a 
clone of the original driver under IntelFrameworkModulePkg, for good
reasons.)

- I could try to implement your "better design" above, under
  IntelFrameworkModulePkg. Would you like me to do that (and review the
  code in turn), or do you prefer to implement it yourself?

- I could port those changes to OVMF's copy of the driver.

- I could then fix up OVMF's platform BDS in a "long term" form.

- However, I will certainly *not* try to move the IntelFrameworkPkg
  driver to MdeModulePkg. Such attempts have only bought me misery.

Summary:
- Who should implement your better design?
- When, in absolute time?
- When, relative to committing the GenericBdsLib patch above?

Thanks
Laszlo
