I think this macro is suboptimal because
negated names are easy to misuse.

I think type is also unnecessary and too
easy to mismatch or keep up to date with
field type changes.

Perhaps it's better as:

#define all_zeros_or_all_ones(field)		\
({						\
	field && (typeof(field))~field;		\
})

		if (!all_zeros_or_all_ones(l4_mask->ip4src) ||
		    !all_zeros_or_all_ones(l4_mask->ip4dst) ||
		    !all_zeros_or_all_ones(l4_mask->psrc) ||
