I thought you proposed adding an enum for these parameters, and possibly
making them a single parameter flag, to make the code in the caller more
readable. Flags like below for example, though I'm not stuck on "MAY_IS"
as a prefix, just my first thought:
enum may_flags {
MAY_IS_FILE = 0x0, /* Essentially !MAY_IS_DIR */
MAY_IS_DIR = 0x1, /* Operation only allowed on directory */
MAY_IS_REPLACE = 0x2, /* Operation only
};
would make it immediately clear what is being passed to the function.
Some examples inline below. If Al hates it, fine, but having functions
with multiple "true, false" or "false, true" arguments is ugly and error
prone, IMHO.

The cases where there are multiple parameters is where it makes the most
improvement, since the code is more readable:
int error = may_delete(dir, dentry, MAY_IS_DIR);
