Ard,
I checked ArmPkg's PlatformBootManagerLib and found it doesn't
call *DispatchDeferredImages() after signaling EndOfDxe.

The deferred image dispatch mechanism assumes the platform
needs to call the *DispatchDeferredImages() after signaling EndOfDxe.

I don't understand why the deferred image can be loaded with your patch.
They are still deferred because the loading time is before EndOfDxe.

Thanks,
Ray
