/**
Creates a thunk for an EBC entry point, returning the address of the thunk.
A PE32+ EBC image, like any other PE32+ image, contains an optional header that specifies the
entry point for image execution. However, for EBC images, this is the entry point of EBC
instructions, so is not directly executable by the native processor. Therefore, when an EBC image is
loaded, the loader must call this service to get a pointer to native code (thunk) that can be executed,
which will invoke the interpreter to begin execution at the original EBC entry point.
@param This A pointer to the EFI_EBC_PROTOCOL instance.
@param ImageHandle Handle of image for which the thunk is being created.
@param EbcEntryPoint Address of the actual EBC entry point or protocol service the thunk should call.
@param Thunk Returned pointer to a thunk created.
@retval EFI_SUCCESS The function completed successfully.
@retval EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER Image entry point is not 2-byte aligned.
@retval EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES Memory could not be allocated for the thunk.

Called prior to unloading an EBC image from memory.
This function is called after an EBC image has exited, but before the image is actually unloaded. It
is intended to provide the interpreter with the opportunity to perform any cleanup that may be
