The Convert_Hex_String service converts a string representing a hexadecimal
number into a value. The service also returns a pointer to the character in
the string that marked the end of the hexadecimal number.
 
This service is only valid during initialization.
 
Parameter  Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
String     Points to the null-terminated string to convert. The string can
           be any combination of hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F), and may
           terminated with an uppercase or lowercase letter H.
 
Return Value
 
The EAX register contains the value of the hexadecimal string and the EDX
register contains the address of the character in the string that terminated
the hexadecimal value. If a letter H terminates the number, EDX contains the
address the character immediately following the H.
