EVT_TIMER The event is a timer event and may be passed to SetTimer() .
Note that timers only function during boot services time.
EVT_RUNTIME The event is allocated from runtime memory. If an event is to be
signaled after the call to
ExitBootServices() , the event’s data
structure and notification function need to be allocated from runtime
memory. For more information, see
SetVirtualAddressMap() in Chapter 6.
EVT_RUNTIME_CONTEXT
The event’s NotifyContext pointer points to a runtime memory
address. See the discussion of EVT_RUNTIME above.
EVT_NOTIFY_WAIT The event’s NotifyFunction is to be invoked whenever the
event is being waited on via WaitForEvent() or
CheckEvent() .
EVT_NOTIFY_SIGNAL
The event’s NotifyFunction is to be invoked whenever the
event is signaled via SignalEvent() .
EVT_SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES
This event is to be notified by the system when
ExitBootServices() is invoked. This type cannot be used
with any other EVT bit type. The notification function for this
event is not allowed to use the Memory Allocation Services, or call
any functions that use the Memory Allocation Services, because
these services modify the current memory map.
EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE
The event is to be notified by the system when
SetVirtualAddressMap() is performed. This type cannot be
used with any other EVT bit type. See the discussion of
EVT_RUNTIME .
