+/** @file
+ Provides library services to make PAL Calls.
+
+ The PAL Library provides a service to make a PAL CALL. This service is identical
+ in functionality to AsmPalCall() in the functions of the Base Library specific to Intel Itanium architecture.
+ The only difference is that the PAL Entry Point is not passed in. Implementations
+ of this library class must manage PAL Entry Point on their own. For example, a PEI
+ implementation can use a PPI to lookup the PAL Entry Point, and a DXE implementation
+ can contain a constructor to look up the PAL Entry Point from a HOB. This library class
+ is only available on Intel Itanium-based platforms.

+/**
+ Makes a PAL procedure call.
+
+ This is a wrapper function to make a PAL procedure call. Based on the Index value,
+ this API will make static or stacked PAL call. Architected procedures may be designated
+ as required or optional. If a PAL procedure is specified as optional, a unique return
+ code of 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF is returned in the Status field of the PAL_CALL_RETURN structure.
+ This indicates that the procedure is not present in this PAL implementation. It is the
+ caller's responsibility to check for this return code after calling any optional PAL
+ procedure. No parameter checking is performed on the 4 input parameters, but there are
+ some common rules that the caller should follow when making a PAL call. Any address
+ passed to PAL as buffers for return parameters must be 8-byte aligned. Unaligned addresses
+ may cause undefined results. For those parameters defined as reserved or some fields
+ defined as reserved must be zero filled or the invalid argument return value may be
+ returned or undefined result may occur during the execution of the procedure.
+ This function is only available on Intel Itanium-based platforms.
+
+ @param Index The PAL procedure Index number.
+ @param Arg2 The 2nd parameter for PAL procedure calls.
+ @param Arg3 The 3rd parameter for PAL procedure calls.
+ @param Arg4 The 4th parameter for PAL procedure calls.
+
+ @return Structure returned from the PAL Call procedure, including the status and return value.
