[edk2-devel] [PATCH 1/1] MdeModulePkg: correct TPL level check CoreCreateEventEx

[Michael D Kinney]

Heinrich,

Section 7.1 of the UEFI Spec states that TPL_HIGH_LEVEL is designed for 
exclusive use by the firmware.  The creation of events by UEFI applications,
UEFI drivers, and UEFI OS Loaders should not use this TPL level.

I agree with removing TPL_APPLICATION form this check, but I do not think
TPL_HIGH_LEVEL should be added.

Thanks,

Mike
