This PPI produces functions to interpret and execute the PI boot script table.
This PPI is published by a PEIM and provides for the restoration of the platform's configuration when resuming from the ACPI S3 power state. The ability to execute the boot script may depend on the availability of other PPIs. For example, if the boot script includes an SMBus command, this PEIM looks for the relevant PPI that is able to execute that command.

Restores the platform to its preboot configuration for an S3 resume and jumps to the OS waking vector.
This function will restore the platform to its pre-boot configuration that was pre-stored in the boot script table and transfer control to OS waking vector. Upon invocation, this function is responsible for locating the following information before jumping to OS waking vector:
- ACPI tables
- boot script table
- any other information that it needs
The S3RestoreConfig() function then executes the pre-stored boot script table and transitions the platform to the pre-boot state. The boot script is recorded during regular boot using the EFI_S3_SAVE_STATE_PROTOCOL.Write() and EFI_S3_SMM_SAVE_STATE_PROTOCOL.Write() functions. Finally, this function transfers control to the OS waking vector. If the OS supports only a real-mode waking vector, this function will switch from flat mode to real mode before jumping to the waking vector. If all platform pre-boot configurations are successfully restored and all other necessary information is ready, this function will never return and instead will directly jump to the OS waking vector. If this function returns, it indicates that the attempt to resume from the ACPI S3 sleep state failed.
