Please note that this patch is maily for feedback collection and the only
the MdeModulePkg part of the series is sent out firstly.


For pointer subtraction, the result is of type "ptrdiff_t". According to
the C11 spec, ptrdiff_t is a signed integer type but its size is
implementation-defined.

There are cases that the result of pointer subtraction is type casted to
UINTN, like:

UINT8  *Ptr1, *Ptr2;
UINTN  PtrDiff;
...
PtrDiff = (UINTN) (Ptr1 - Ptr2);

Some static code checkers may warn that the pointer subtraction might
overflow first and then the result is being cast to a bigger size.

The series will cast each pointer to UINTN first and then perform the
subtraction:

PtrDiff = (UINTN) Ptr1 - (UINTN) Ptr2;
