I can see KVM is the only user for the mmu_notifier_ops clear_flush_young,
clear_young and test_young hooks, which map to
kvm_mmu_notifier_[clear_flush,clear,test]_young() functions, and you have
updated them all.

So this LGTM with nits below, and so (with nits addressed as per the other R-b
tags :):

Thanks for doing this! Int as bool is a pet peeve of mine :))

Cheers, Lorenzo

I mean damn, at this point maybe it's legit to drop the surrounding externs here
too? But maybe not :))

Can we please fix this terrrible indentation while we're here :)?

                unsigned long start, unsigned long end, gfn_handler_t handler,
                bool flush_on_ret)

Would be nicer, thanks!
