Module Name:

  LegacyBiosThunk.h
    
Abstract:

  The EFI Legacy BIOS Thunk Protocol is used to abstract Thunk16 call.

  Note: The names for EFI_IA32_REGISTER_SET elements were picked to follow 
  well known naming conventions.

  Thunk - A thunk is a transition from one processor mode to another. A Thunk
          is a transition from native EFI mode to 16-bit mode. A reverse thunk
          would be a transition from 16-bit mode to native EFI mode.


  Note: Note: Note: Note: Note: Note: Note:

  You most likely should not use this protocol! Find the EFI way to solve the
  problem to make your code portable

  Routine Description:
    Thunk to 16-bit real mode and execute a software interrupt with a vector 
    of BiosInt. Regs will contain the 16-bit register context on entry and 
    exit.

  Arguments:
    This    - Protocol instance pointer.
    BiosInt - Processor interrupt vector to invoke
    Reg     - Register contexted passed into (and returned) from thunk to 
              16-bit mode

  Returns:
    FALSE   - Thunk completed, and there were no BIOS errors in the target code.
              See Regs for status.
    TRUE    - There was a BIOS erro in the target code.
