These wrappers are terrible for readability and annoying for argument
lists too.

Agreed.

Could we do something like the pgtbl_mod_mask or zap_details and pass
through a struct or one unsigned int for create and lazy_mmu?

Or just create some enum flags?

At least we'd have better self-documenting code in the wrappers.. and if
we ever need a third boolean, we could avoid multiplying the wrappers
again.

WDYT?

I'm happy with either approach. I was expecting more constination about the idea
of being able to disable lazy mode though, so perhaps I'll wait and see if any
arrives. If it doesn't... flags?

Yes, that works as well.  Please use pmd_flags or anything more
descriptive than just 'flags' :)

I wonder which approach is best in asm instructions and self-documenting
code.
