Invoke the constructor in the SEC phase to call into initialization
functions associated with libraries linked with this particular module.
For instance, PrePeiCore's CEntryPoint function calls DebugLib library's
print API before the library is initialized.  
[SAMI] Can you rephrase the commit message to be clearer, please?
This change is essential
to initialize uart for SEC phase.

[SAMI] The above description does not appear to be correct.

Would the following test be more appropriate?
