As we discussed this in an earlier version of this patch set:
Isn't the difference between int and bool mostly cosmetic?
AFAIK we don't have a hard rule in DPDK about bool vs. int.
IMO doing this change now it likely not going to add any value.

This is just the early function wrapper in patch 1 out of 41, mode code is
added in this function by later patches that need the if statement. IMO this
change will not add any value at all here.
