No, the way to do that is to just clean it up (or in the worst case just 
add another set of parenthesis, not a statement expression).

That said, whoever made "if()" a macro should be shot. That 
PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES thing is crazy, crazy.

Anyway, in this case, I think

Just do it like

	if ( (i=drhd->iommu, drhd->ignored) ) {} else

is still not pretty, but better than using ({..}) I think. And just a 
single set of parenthesis will protect the macro expansion.

But that '#define if(cond)' for the branch profiling is really the core 
problem there. Wow. I never realized quite _how_ ugly tricks it played.
