The architecture does not guarantee order for the events. So if the events are 
dependent on the order of other events that is a bug in implementation. These 
kind of bugs are hard to notice as the DXE Core implementation event dispatch 
in a fixed order, I think in the order the event was registered. So it looks 
correct until you add more events.
