50 /// When installed, the Driver Family Override Protocol produces a GUID that represents
51 /// a family of drivers.  Drivers with the same GUID are members of the same family
52 /// When drivers are connected to controllers, drivers with a higher revision value
53 /// in the same driver family are connected with a higher priority than drivers
54 /// with a lower revision value in the same driver family.  The EFI Boot Service
55 /// Connect Controller uses five rules to build a prioritized list of drivers when
56 /// a request is made to connect a driver to a controller.  The Driver Family Protocol
57 /// rule is between the Platform Specific Driver Override Protocol and above the
58 /// Bus Specific Driver Override Protocol.
