Re: [edk2-devel] [Patch V2 5/8] MdeModulePkg: Add UefiCpuPkg.dec to pass DependencyCheck

["Michael D Kinney" <michael.d.kinney@intel.com>]

If components outside the UefiCpuPkg need access to the CpuPageTableLib, should we
consider moving CpuPageTableLib to MdePkg or MdeModulePkg?  There are many different
boot phases that need to crate/manage page tables, so we need to find the right
common location.  Perhaps the only part that needs to be moved is the lib class?
