edk2 log files became quite chatty in recent years, with the
extended use of paging for confidential computing and for
page attributes (using NX / WP to improve firmware security).
This series adds a new debug log bit (DEBUG_PAGING) for all
messages related to page table updates, to allow turning these
messages on and off independent from other messages.
A number of log messages have been changed from DEBUG_VERBOSE
to DEBUG_PAGING. These are the paging-related messages I've
noticed when booting OVMF and ArmVirt. Most likely there are
more in the code base, but I want gather some feedback on the
idea before going hunt them all down.
