Yeap, sure.  How about something like the following?

	/*
	 * Don't merge if failfast settings don't match.  The negation
	 * in front of each condition is necessary because bio and
	 * request flags use different bit positions and the accessors
	 * return those bits directly.  This ugliness will soon go
	 * away.
