The downside to doing it properly is that this now becomes another
thing that needs to be copied around to every PlatformBootManagerLib
implementation (i.e.
Platform/RaspberryPi/Library/PlatformBootManagerLib/
Silicon/Hisilicon/Library/PlatformBootManagerLib/, but also
out-of-tree implementations).

Is there any way of avoiding that?
