+  Writes specified number of bytes from the input buffer to the block

+

+  The EfiFvbWriteBlock() function writes the specified number of bytes

+  from the provided buffer to the specified block and offset in the 

+  requested firmware volume. 

+

+  If the firmware volume is sticky write, the caller must ensure that

+  all the bits of the specified range to write are in the EFI_FVB_ERASE_POLARITY

+  state before calling the EfiFvbWriteBlock() function, or else the 

+  result will be unpredictable.  This unpredictability arises because,

+  for a sticky-write firmware volume, a write may negate a bit in the 

+  EFI_FVB_ERASE_POLARITY state but it cannot flip it back again. In 

+  general, before calling the EfiFvbWriteBlock() function, the caller

+  should call the EfiFvbEraseBlock() function first to erase the specified

+  block to write. A block erase cycle will transition bits from the

+  (NOT)EFI_FVB_ERASE_POLARITY state back to the EFI_FVB_ERASE_POLARITY state.

+  Implementations should be mindful that the firmware volume might be 

+  in the WriteDisabled state.  If it is in this state, the EfiFvbWriteBlock()

+  function must return the status code EFI_ACCESS_DENIED without modifying

+  the contents of the firmware volume.

+  The EfiFvbWriteBlock() function must also prevent spanning block boundaries.
