Description

When Boot Services (BS) are switched off, we can not use BS functions any more. Since drawn console does implement our own Blt(), we can use it to draw the console.

However, SimpleTextOutput protocol based console output must be blocked.
FreeBSD version of this patch: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=4c7a3a70e047fbba2a3ce4a0168eaf2baddca76b
and followup: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D31814

Tested by inserting printf() and panic() after ExitBootServices() call. The output from printf/panic is presented ok and we do not get register dump from panic().
