Thanks for sharing. You articulated well why I also don't think this is
required in MdePkg. My

The reset vector is a hardware thing. It is usually at the top or bottom of the
address space. For x86 it is at the TOP of the ROM and that is why the FV has a

In platforms built for boot media other than SPI flash there has been a
compelling
need for silicon and platform code to be aware of the firmware boot media but
apart from the UEFI variable driver (which is a special case being addressed

I am not sure if there is a silicon scope around the FirmwareBootMediaLib. Have
we considered adding this interface to MdePkg, instead?

This patch series introduces a mechanism for determining the firmware
boot media device. This allows the firmware boot media to be discovered
through a standardized API.
Traditionally, most systems have only supported firmware storage on SPI
flash. Presently, several other storage technologies
