ah, correction: actually, the original statement has exactly the right number of parentheses.
The relevant C precedence order is:
	==
	&
	|

...which means that both "&" and "|" operations need parentheses protection from the higher
precedence "==" operation.

(There are other places in the kernel that have this exact pattern, too, with the same
pattern of parentheses that I'm using, of course.)
