/** @file
  Load File protocol as defined in the UEFI 2.0 specification.

  The load file protocol exists to supports the addition of new boot devices, 
  and to support booting from devices that do not map well to file system. 
  Network boot is done via a LoadFile protocol.

  UEFI 2.0 can boot from any device that produces a LoadFile protocol.

  Causes the driver to load a specified file.

  @param  This       Protocol instance pointer.
  @param  FilePath   The device specific path of the file to load.
  @param  BootPolicy If TRUE, indicates that the request originates from the
                     boot manager is attempting to load FilePath as a boot
                     selection. If FALSE, then FilePath must match as exact file
                     to be loaded.
  @param  BufferSize On input the size of Buffer in bytes. On output with a return
                     code of EFI_SUCCESS, the amount of data transferred to
                     Buffer. On output with a return code of EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL,
                     the size of Buffer required to retrieve the requested file.
  @param  Buffer     The memory buffer to transfer the file to. IF Buffer is NULL,
                     then the size of the requested file is returned in
                     BufferSize.

  @retval EFI_SUCCESS           The file was loaded.
  @retval EFI_UNSUPPORTED       The device does not support the provided BootPolicy
  @retval EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER FilePath is not a valid device path, or
                                BufferSize is NULL.
  @retval EFI_NO_MEDIA          No medium was present to load the file.
  @retval EFI_DEVICE_ERROR      The file was not loaded due to a device error.
  @retval EFI_NO_RESPONSE       The remote system did not respond.
  @retval EFI_NOT_FOUND         The file was not found.
  @retval EFI_ABORTED           The file load process was manually cancelled.
