/** @file
The EFI_SWAP_ADDRESS_RANGE_PROTOCOL is used to abstract the swap operation of boot block
and backup block of FV. This swap is especially needed when updating the boot block of FV. If any
-power failure happens during updating boot block, the swapped backup block (now is the boot block)
-can boot the machine with old boot block backuped in it. The swap operation is platform dependent, so
-other protocols such as FTW (Fault Tolerant Write) should use this protocol instead of handling hardward directly.
