Yes. I agree that moving the comments block out of the 'if' statement is
more readable. I will update according to your suggestion when I pushing
the changes.

Just as Jiewen mentioned in the previous reply. An ASSERT:
ASSERT ((StackBase & EFI_PAGE_MASK) == 0);
is added to ensure the stack base fetched from Hob is page-size aligned.
And the below check:
(StackBase >= MemoryMapEntry->PhysicalStart &&
StackBase < MemoryMapEntry->PhysicalStart +
LShiftU64 (MemoryMapEntry->NumberOfPages, EFI_PAGE_SHIFT))
together with the fact that MemMap is page aligned (also mentioned by
Jiewen) ensures that the first page of the stack is cover by the memory
range of the MemMap.
