+ Creates a thunk for an EBC entry point, returning the address of the thunk.
+
+ A PE32+ EBC image, like any other PE32+ image, contains an optional header that specifies the
+ entry point for image execution. However, for EBC images, this is the entry point of EBC
+ instructions, so is not directly executable by the native processor. Therefore, when an EBC image is
+ loaded, the loader must call this service to get a pointer to native code (thunk) that can be executed,
+ which will invoke the interpreter to begin execution at the original EBC entry point.
+
+ @param This A pointer to the EFI_EBC_PROTOCOL instance.
+ @param ImageHandle Handle of image for which the thunk is being created.
+ @param EbcEntryPoint Address of the actual EBC entry point or protocol service the thunk should call.
+ @param Thunk Returned pointer to a thunk created.

+ @retval EFI_SUCCESS The function completed successfully.
