Ard:
  This change is about new protocol in 1.7 errata A of the PI spec. But, PI 1.7 
errata A is not published yet. So, this patch set is for edk2-staging first?

  I review the code logic. For SMM part, SmmIpl still installs current 
SmmCommunication protocol. So, this change is totally compatible. Right?

Thanks
Liming
