As suggested below, move dump_rmpentry() into sev.c so that it can use the
microarchitectural version.  For debug, I'm pretty that's what we'll want anyways,
e.g. dump the raw value along with the meaning of various bits.

Why define an architectural "struct rmpentry"?  IIUC, there isn't a true
architectural RMP entry; the APM defines architectural fields but doesn't define
a layout.  Functionally, making up our own struct isn't a problem, I just don't
see the point since all use cases only care about Assigned and Page-Size, and
we can do them a favor by translating Page-Size to X86_PG_LEVEL.
