The GUID is used by the linux kernel but not sure if part of any formal spec

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/include/linux/efi.h?h=v5.14-rc1&id=ec93fc371f014a6fb483e3556061ecad4b40735c

If we feel MdeModulePkg is a better place I am fine with that as well and can release a v2 version.


Thanks,

Jeff

Is this GUID defined in an industry standard or public spec?

If not, then MdeModulePkg may be a better choice if this is a GUID defines for EDK II extensions.
