Matter of taste.  'bool' makes sense if you think of these functions as
predicates (ugly ones, with side effects).  'int' makes sense if you
think of them as returning the bit value (a bit is not a truth value in
my book).

In my opinion, this is just unnecessary churn, and unnecessary deviation
from established kernel practice.
