Automatically set the nxcompat flag in the DLL Characteristics field of
the Optional Header of the PE32+ image. For this flag to be set
automatically, it must, the section alignment must be evenly divisible
by 4K (EFI_PAGE_SIZE) and no section must be executable and writable.

Hi all,
Do you have any concerns over the changes I've made to GenFw.c as seen
above? Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or
improvements; I would be happy to help!
Thanks,
Joey

Please fix the documentation block.
It should go above the function, and use Doxygen style.
Also, the commit message doesn't make sense to me - specifically ", it
must,"
