/** @file
  Provides services to create and parse HOBs. Only available for PEI
  and DXE module types.

  The HOB Library supports the efficient creation and searching of HOBs
  defined in the PI Specification. 
  A HOB is a Hand-Off Block, defined in the Framework architecture, that 
  allows the PEI phase to pass information to the DXE phase. HOBs are position 
  independent and can be relocated easily to different memory memory locations.

  Returns the pointer to the HOB list.

  This function returns the pointer to first HOB in the list.
  For PEI phase, the PEI service GetHobList() can be used to retrieve the pointer 
  to the HOB list.  For the DXE phase, the HOB list pointer can be retrieved through
  the EFI System Table by looking up theHOB list GUID in the System Configuration Table.
  Since the System Configuration Table does not exist that the time the DXE Core is 
  launched, the DXE Core uses a global variable from the DXE Core Entry Point Library 
  to manage the pointer to the HOB list.
  
  If the pointer to the HOB list is NULL, then ASSERT().
