Ard:
  So, in this case, PE image space will not be continuous. Its code and data 
section are in the different region. I know RelocatImage is for the absolute 
address data access. But, I am still curious how PE image handles the relative 
address data access?

  For patch 1 & 2, I agree those changes. 
  For patch 3 & 4, I need more time to review them. 
  For patch 5, PeCoffLoaderRelocateImageForRuntime() API is changed. This is an 
incompatible change. Now, it only impacts BasePeCoffLib and RuntimeDriver. I am 
not sure whether there is any other code to consume/produce it.
  For patch 6, how about update RuntimeDriverConvertInternalPointer() for this 
usage? And, remove unreferenced local variable VirtImageBase. 

Thanks
Liming

Sure

I pushed it here:

Thanks,
