Reads the specified number of bytes into a buffer from the specified block.
The Read() function reads the requested number of bytes from the
requested block and stores them in the provided buffer.
Implementations should be mindful that the firmware volume
might be in the ReadDisabled state. If it is in this state,
the Read() function must return the status code
EFI_ACCESS_DENIED without modifying the contents of the
buffer. The Read() function must also prevent spanning block
boundaries. If a read is requested that would span a block
boundary, the read must read up to the boundary but not
beyond. The output parameter NumBytes must be set to correctly
indicate the number of bytes actually read. The caller must be
aware that a read may be partially completed.

/**
Writes the specified number of bytes from the input buffer to the block.
The Write() function writes the specified number of bytes from
the provided buffer to the specified block and offset. If the
firmware volume is sticky write, the caller must ensure that
all the bits of the specified range to write are in the
EFI_FVB_ERASE_POLARITY state before calling the Write()
function, or else the result will be unpredictable. This
unpredictability arises because, for a sticky-write firmware
volume, a write may negate a bit in the EFI_FVB_ERASE_POLARITY
state but cannot flip it back again. Before calling the
Write() function, it is recommended for the caller to first call
the EraseBlocks() function to erase the specified block to
write. A block erase cycle will transition bits from the
(NOT)EFI_FVB_ERASE_POLARITY state back to the
EFI_FVB_ERASE_POLARITY state. Implementations should be
mindful that the firmware volume might be in the WriteDisabled
state. If it is in this state, the Write() function must
return the status code EFI_ACCESS_DENIED without modifying the
contents of the firmware volume. The Write() function must
also prevent spanning block boundaries. If a write is
requested that spans a block boundary, the write must store up
to the boundary but not beyond. The output parameter NumBytes
must be set to correctly indicate the number of bytes actually
written. The caller must be aware that a write may be
partially completed. All writes, partial or otherwise, must be
fully flushed to the hardware before the Write() service
returns.
@param This Indicates the EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_BLOCK2_PROTOCOL instance.
@param Lba The starting logical block index to write to.
@param Offset Offset into the block at which to begin writing.
@param NumBytes The pointer to a UINTN. At entry, *NumBytes
contains the total size of the buffer. At
exit, *NumBytes contains the total number of
bytes actually written.
@param Buffer The pointer to a caller-allocated buffer that
contains the source for the write.
@retval EFI_SUCCESS The firmware volume was written successfully.
@retval EFI_BAD_BUFFER_SIZE The write was attempted across an
LBA boundary. On output, NumBytes
contains the total number of bytes
actually written.
@retval EFI_ACCESS_DENIED The firmware volume is in the
WriteDisabled state.

and could not be written.

/**
Erases and initializes a firmware volume block.
The EraseBlocks() function erases one or more blocks as denoted
by the variable argument list. The entire parameter list of
blocks must be verified before erasing any blocks. If a block is
requested that does not exist within the associated firmware
volume (it has a larger index than the last block of the
firmware volume), the EraseBlocks() function must return the
status code EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER without modifying the contents
of the firmware volume. Implementations should be mindful that
the firmware volume might be in the WriteDisabled state. If it
is in this state, the EraseBlocks() function must return the
status code EFI_ACCESS_DENIED without modifying the contents of
the firmware volume. All calls to EraseBlocks() must be fully
flushed to the hardware before the EraseBlocks() service
returns.
@param This Indicates the EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_BLOCK2_PROTOCOL
instance.
@param ... The variable argument list is a list of tuples.
Each tuple describes a range of LBAs to erase
and consists of the following:
- An EFI_LBA that indicates the starting LBA
- A UINTN that indicates the number of blocks to
erase.
The list is terminated with an
EFI_LBA_LIST_TERMINATOR. For example, the
following indicates that two ranges of blocks
(5-7 and 10-11) are to be erased: EraseBlocks
(This, 5, 3, 10, 2, EFI_LBA_LIST_TERMINATOR);
@retval EFI_SUCCESS The erase request successfully
completed.
@retval EFI_ACCESS_DENIED The firmware volume is in the
WriteDisabled state.
@retval EFI_DEVICE_ERROR The block device is not functioning
correctly and could not be written.
The firmware device may have been
partially erased.
@retval EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER One or more of the LBAs listed
in the variable argument list do
not exist in the firmware volume.
