2   Provides services to allocate and free memory buffers of various memory types and alignments.
3 
4   The Memory Allocation Library abstracts various common memory allocation operations. This library
5   allows code to be written in a phase-independent manner because the allocation of memory in PEI, DXE,
6   and SMM (for example) is done via a different mechanism. Using a common library interface makes it
7   much easier to port algorithms from phase to phase.
