Paging Audit: Remove Bitwidth Check in x86 Page Parsing
When parsing the x86 page table entries, the physical address bits value collected is used to mask the page bytes. However, this is unnecessary and incorrect as currently written. The physical address bits value should be left shifted by 12 bits to isolate the physical address bits. Even if we do this, the masking is unnecessary because the physical address bits are masked when reading the page table bytes. - [x] Impacts functionality? - **Functionality** - Does the change ultimately impact how firmware functions? - Examples: Add a new library, publish a new PPI, update an algorithm, ... - [ ] Impacts security? - **Security** - Does the change have a direct security impact on an application, flow, or firmware? - Examples: Crypto algorithm change, buffer overflow fix, parameter validation improvement, ... - [ ] Breaking change? - **Breaking change** - Will anyone consuming this change experience a break in build or boot behavior? - Examples: Add a new library class, move a module to a different repo, call a function in a new library class in a pre-existing module, ... - [x] Includes tests? - **Tests** - Does the change include any explicit test code? - Examples: Unit tests, integration tests, robot tests, ... - [ ] Includes documentation? - **Documentation** - Does the change contain explicit documentation additions outside direct code modifications (and comments)? - Examples: Update readme file, add feature readme file, link to documentation on an a separate Web page, ...
