    Description

      The last param of BmpPopulateBootEntryList is Out PULONG SequenceCount, however the first thing the API does is to use this Out param to perform a for loop :

      1269     /* Loop through every element in the sequence */
      1270     for (i = 0; i < *SequenceCount; i++)

      If such, I think that param should be an _IN_OUT one.

      The BmpPopulateBootEntryList() function however seems to be misused:
      One time we call BmpPopulateBootEntryList() expecting to RETURN a SequenceCount number and we pass a pointer to an ULONG, as in this case:
      https://git.reactos.org/?p=reactos.git;a=blob;f=reactos/boot/environ/app/bootmgr/bootmgr.c;hb=3ba858b3f993995d60b8ac91cc5bea6308d4b606#l1484

      Another time we call BmpPopulateBootEntryList() expecting to USE a SequenceCount number we pass to it via a pointer to an ULONG, as in this case:
      https://git.reactos.org/?p=reactos.git;a=blob;f=reactos/boot/environ/app/bootmgr/bootmgr.c;hb=3ba858b3f993995d60b8ac91cc5bea6308d4b606#l1578

      Since this is Alex Ionescu code dunno if this should go into #ros-dev ML instead.
