Reuse the descriptor parsing functionality to keep the same output format as the original ptdump code.
Hello Mark,
This sentence seems either out of place or missing something, because this change it not reusing anything...quoted
In order for this to happen, move the state tracking objects into a common header.... but instead doing this ^^^. I propose to rewrite the commit message as: "Adding a new page-table dumper for stage-2 requires parsing the page tables, and reusing the descriptor parsing functionality would help keeping the same output format as the original ptdump code. In order for this to happen, move the state tracking object definitions into a common header."
Thanks for the feedback, I think the re-wording works much better and I'll make use of it.
Shout if you object to it! Thanks, M.
