Why isn't this a bool?

Horrid api change, but it's internal to this file so oh well :(

Hint, don't add flags to functions like this, it forces you to have to
always remember what those flags are when you read the code. Right now
you stuck "0" and "1" in the function call, which is not instructional
at all.

Heck, why not make it an enum to have it be self-describing? Like the
type is here. that would make it much better and easier to understand
and maintain over time.

Is it a u8 or not? You treat it as a boolean a lot :(

Why check it before calling e820_nomerge()? Is that required?

Same api comment here.

No more bug?

if statement? This looks really odd and is easy to overlook.

See, what does "false" here mean? You have to now go look that up.
