I think it makes sense to have it.  You can even use the ternary operator

	/*
	 * When zapping everything, all entries at the top level
	 * ultimately go away, and the levels below go down with them.
	 * So do not bother iterating all the way down to the leaves.
	 */
	int min_level = zap_all ? root->role.level : PG_LEVEL_4K;
