I'd go with 1 for now. Booleans in places where it's not utterly clear from the calling code what it means shouldn't be used (even enums are better), i.e. if you don't know the implementation details of the function there'd be no way for an outsider to know what exactly the "TRUE" in mgmt_start_discovery(TRUE) means.
