I completely agree the list of booleans is a mess, but I don't love the result of
adding @flags.  I wonder if we can do something similar to x86's struct kvm_page_fault
and add an internal struct to pass params.  And then add e.g. gfn_to_pfn_interruptible()
to wrap that logic.

I suspect we could also clean up the @async behavior at the same time, as its
interaction with FOLL_NOWAIT is confusing.
