"git show --find-copies-harder" works wonders while reviewing this patch :)

Good point!

Good point about the depex; per PI vol 2, 12.6 Real Time Clock
Architectural Protocol, we need this for gRT->GetTime(). The previous
implementation can tage GetTime for granted, because it is linked into
BdsDxe, which ensures that all the architectural protocols have been
installed.

(4) Can you please add a short note about this (the depex) in the commit
message?

With (1) to (4) addressed:
