Good day Thomas,

Thank you very much for the quick patch. Comments inline.

Best regards,
Marvin

This definitely is not an issue of your patch at all, but I find the 
comments of the behaviour very lacking. Might this be a good opportunity 
to briefly document it? It took me quite a bit of git blame to fully 
figure it out, especially due to the non-descriptive commit message. The 
constant is explained very well in the description: 
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/e4ff6349bf9ee4f3f392141374901ea4994e043e

> +STATIC EFI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS mWakeupBuffer = 0x88000;

Hmm, I wonder whether a global variable is the best solution here. With 
an explanation from the commit above, a top-down allocator makes good 
sense for this scenario. However, a "GetWakeupBuffer(Size, MaxAddress)" 
function might be more self-descriptive. What do you think?

Personally, I do not mind this at all, but I think the code style 
prohibits declaring variables in inner scopes. Though preferably I would 
like to see this, nowadays, arbitrary restriction lifted rather than the 
patch be changed. Do the package maintainers have comments on this?

Should the ASSERT not only catch the broken "allocate below" behaviour, 
i.e. not trigger on failed allocation?
