Looks like a good cleanup to me.

Perhaps a simple shrink for the vfunc name would suffice and match 
better with the neighbouring names?

Maybe flags would be better than two booleans? (Usually more than one is 
one two many when readability is concerned.) Although they couldn't be 
from I915_SHRINK_ namespace since that "belongs" to the shrinker, and 
granted, there wouldn't be ideal component separation since caller still 
has to have knowledge of shrinking mechanics to decide which ones is 
safe to pass in. So don't know, just thinking out loud.
