IMHO It reduces the flexibility of the scheme and makes it not extendable. Leads to a large quantity of macros that are difficult to manage.
Also some higher level functions may want to have the mode passed to them as parameters. See f.e. include/linux/buffer_head.h. Without the parameters you will have to maintain farms of definitions for all cases.
