It was mostly for no need to remember the long names of macros, and easier
when conditionally set with some modes. E.g., we have 5 callers have things
like:

  uffd_register(..., test_uffdio_wp ? UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP : 0);

The bools simplifes it to:

  uffd_register(..., test_uffdio_wp, ...);

But let me know if you still think that's better - I can switch here.
