Taylor,
Thank you for your effort for removing the duplicated logic in Dxe/Smm Core and 
fixing the bugs.

Two general comments:
#1. Can you refactor your patch series in a way that the new lib code is like a 
"git move" instead of "git add"? For example, you could add an empty lib first 
and update all DSC to depend on the new lib. Then move the lib code from 
DxeCore to the lib folder. So that when reviewing the code changes, they are 
relative smaller.

#2. I see that you directly move the code to lib and update consumer to call 
the lib APIs. Do you think it's feasible to refine the code further such that 
the responsibilities of DxeCore and the lib can be clearer and with that the 
lib APIs can be more meaningful?

I provided thoughts for #1 but haven't thought about #2 specifically.

Thanks,
Ray

> Subject: [PATCH v2 0/9] Add ImagePropertiesRecordLib and Fix MAT Bugs

> v2:
> - A one-line change in patch 3 was moved to patch 9 for correctness.

> The UEFI and SMM MAT logic contains duplicate logic for manipulating image
> properties records which is used to track runtime images.
> This patch series adds a new library, ImagePropertiesRecordLib,
> which consolidates this logic and fixes the bugs which currently exist in
> the MAT logic.
> 
> The first patch adds the ImagePropertiesRecordLib implementation which
> is a copy of the UEFI MAT logic with minor modifications to remove the
> reliance on globabl variables and make the code unit testable.
> 
> The second patch adds a unit test for the ImagePropertiesRecordLib. The
> logic tests various potential layouts of the EFI memory map and runtime
> images. 3/4 of these tests will fail which demonstrates the MAT logic
> bugs.
> 
> The third patch fixes the logic in the ImagePropertiesRecordLib so
> that all of the unit tests pass and the MAT logic can be fixed by
> using the library.
> 
> The remaining patches add library instances to DSC files and remove
> the image properties record logic from the SMM and UEFI MAT logic.
