Now the comment is wrong.  It used to mean "If this is NULL, zap pages
with any mapping", but now it's always set, and the decision about whether
to check the mapping is in the flag.

Honestly, I'd remove the comments from both these members.  They don't add
anything to understandability now.
Agreed, I'm removing them.  Thanks,
