The default behavior for unaccepted memory is to accept all memory
when ExitBootServices is called. An OS loader can use this protocol to
disable this behavior to assume responsibility for memory acceptance and
to affirm that the OS can handle the unaccepted memory type.
This is a candidate for standardization.
