The second parameter for global-set-key must be a symbol of interactive
function and you can only pass interactive prefix arguments to that
function. But you can create a new function which calls
save-some-buffers with the arguments you like. I use anonymous function
(lambda) here:

    (global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-s")
                    (lambda () (interactive)
                      (save-some-buffers t)))
