Feature Request: Better explain the role of exit_boot_services() or rename it #1604

Description

@ofluffydev

The exit_boot_services() function requires a MemoryType where it should not, and returns a memory map. I believe this function does more if not something entirely different from what you would expect exiting UEFI mode to be, therefore it needs to be renamed, or fixed to not require a MemoryType. I believe it used to be that way and was changed for some reason. If you're seriously going to keep it this way, at least help my writing better docs on both the enums and exit_boot_services() so people can understand what it means.

Yes "document it youself" blah blah I so WOULD PR better docs right now if I could understand this, it would be way better for the creators/maintainers to document them rather than wait months for me to figure it out just now learning UEFI and OS development with Rust.
