I have a question about current VGA driver in GFW. 
There are three driver relative files --- vgainit.c vgaclass.c vgaminiport.c. 
All the driver entry point such as PciVgaMiniPortDriverEntryPoint() are 
commented. The reason is no EfiLibInstallAllDriverProtocols() function called 
by driver entry in version 2398 of EDK2, which is current GFW base on. But 
without the entry point function, how these drivers are installed?
Why I have this question is Intel's GFW use VgaMiniport driver with some other 
logic, and windows can get high color show.
