Not sure about that.

    IPV4: use xor rather than multiple ands for route compare
    
    The comparison in ip_route_input is a hot path, by recoding the C
    "and" as bit operations, fewer conditional branches get generated
    so the code should be faster. Maybe someday Gcc will be smart
    enough to do this?
