/** @file
  A hook-in library for:
  - MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/Pei/VariablePei.inf
  - MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/RuntimeDxe/VariableRuntimeDxe.inf
  - MdeModulePkg/Universal/Variable/RuntimeDxe/VariableSmm.inf

  Plugging this library instance into one of the above modules makes that
  variable service backend wait for another platform module to dynamically
  initialize or verify EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_HEADER and VARIABLE_STORE_HEADER in
  the non-volatile variable store FVB device. The initialization / verification
  is signaled by installing gEdkiiNvVarStoreFormattedGuid into the
  phase-matching PPI or protocol database, with a NULL interface. (Note that
  installing gEdkiiNvVarStoreFormattedGuid into either the DXE or the MM
  protocol database will unblock VariableSmm -- refer to EFI_SECTION_MM_DEPEX
  in the PI spec.)
