This sentence seems either out of place or missing something, because
this change it not reusing anything...

... 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."

Shout if you object to it!

Thanks,

	M.
