I'll update this patch following the suggestion by Sean. [1]
I'll drop the flag. the struct kvm_gfn_range will be

struct kvm_gfn_range {
 struct kvm_memory_slot *slot;
 gfn_t start;
 gfn_t end;
 union {
  struct test_clear_young_metadata *metadata;
  unsigned long attributes;
  pte_t pte;
  unsigned long callback_arg; /* needs a better name */
 };
 bool only_private;
 bool only_shared;
 bool may_block;
};
