Oh, we're too late in the game to change for this release.
But you are using ancient toolchains with poor code generation and
quite likely known bugs.
And this has been the state for quite some time.
If that can change for 19.06, that's good enough.

Well, changing edk2 version will mean that command line options to
compiler and linker may change. So certainly some change can be seen.
But when the changes are this big, I suspect something else has been
going on.

So please reword the subject line of this commit to explain it is an
overall update of PlatformSysCtrlLib - including which bits are dropped.

And I think this makes a good argument for moving the header files for
binary-only libraries from edk2-platforms to edk2-non-osi.
If you do that in a separate patch before this one, you won't need to
include as much detail in the commit message as you will otherwise.
