A.3 BDS Hook Points
BDS Hook Point Summary
Four new event signal groups are defined that will be signaled at the point shown in Table 16 Event groups as described in the UEFI specification are collections of events identified by a shared EFI_GUID that when one member event group is signaled, all other event groups are signed and their individual notification actions are taken. These event groups should be used in combination with the pre-existing notification mechanisms: signal of gEfiEndOfDxeEventGroupGuid and installation of the gEfiPciEnumerationCompleteProtocolGuid or gEfiDxeSmmReadyToLockProtocolGuid. Preference should always be given to the notification points defined outside this specification to make code dependent upon the notification as portable as possible.
