/**
  Register a RAM disk with specified address, size and type.

  @param[in]  RamDiskBase    The base address of registered RAM disk.
  @param[in]  RamDiskSize    The size of registered RAM disk.
  @param[in]  RamDiskType    The type of registered RAM disk. The GUID can be
                             any of the values defined in section 9.3.6.9, or a
                             vendor defined GUID.
  @param[in]  ParentDevicePath
                             Pointer to the parent device path. If there is no
                             parent device path then ParentDevicePath is NULL.
  @param[out] DevicePath     On return, points to a pointer to the device path
                             of the RAM disk device.
                             If ParentDevicePath is not NULL, the returned
                             DevicePath is created by appending a RAM disk node
                             to the parent device path. If ParentDevicePath is
                             NULL, the returned DevicePath is a RAM disk device
                             path without appending. This function is
                             responsible for allocating the buffer DevicePath
                             with the boot service AllocatePool().

  @retval EFI_SUCCESS             The RAM disk is registered successfully.
  @retval EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER   DevicePath or RamDiskType is NULL.
                                  RamDiskSize is 0.
  @retval EFI_ALREADY_STARTED     A Device Path Protocol instance to be created
                                  is already present in the handle database.
  @retval EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES    The RAM disk register operation fails due to
                                  resource limitation.
