Ok.  Will resend the patch.

The purpose of this change is to abstract arch from DxeIpl module under MdeModulePkg and remove the dependencies with arch package from MdeModulePkg.ci.yaml. 
Yes, I already added an instance for RISC-V and revised DxeIpl to consume new lib *only* for RISCV64 arch,  this change will be in the set of RISC-V edk2 patches. The patch you are reviewing now is the prerequisite for RISC-V edk2 port.

It will stay the same for X86, ARM may have to use this NULL instance and remove the dependencies from MdeModulePkg.ci.yaml as well. However, I can't speak for ARM because the dependence with ARM package in MdeModulePkg has been in MdeModulePkg.ci.yaml when edk2 CI was introduced (my guess, not sure the history). RISCV64 is a new arch and was requested to be decoupled from MdeModulePkg.  This change don't bring incompatible issue though. ARM arch can still stay the same as it is in edk2 now.
