During boot service time the low 32 bit value is volatile: it is reset to
zero on every system reset and is increased by 1 on every call to GetNextMonotonicCount().
- The high 32 bit value is non-volatile and is increased by 1 whenever the system resets

The GetNextMonotonicCount() function is only available at boot services time.
If the operating system wishes to extend the platform monotonic counter to runtime,
it may do so by utilizing GetNextHighMonotonicCount(). To do this, before calling
