Well "EPT-specific" and "vendor-independent" are enough to indicate the
reason for the motion, but the title doesn't say either of those two
things, and so the reader is left to guess.  A title / message like this
would have been fine:

---
x86/mm: Pull non-EPT-specific altp2m handling code into
vendor-independent code

No functional changes.
---

Or since that's a bit long, maybe:

---
x86/mm: Pull vendor-independent altp2m code out of p2m-ept.c

...and into p2m.c.  No functional changes.
