How about dropping the double negation and using a logical && instead of
the binary &?

Hm.  I would have just written the negated form

(!(flags & BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH) || (local_flags & BDRV_REQ_COPY_ON_READ))

and put the “skip” comment above that condition.

(Since local_flags is initialized to flags, it can be written as a
single comparison, but that’s a matter of taste and I’m not going to
recommend either over the other:

((local_flags & (BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH | BDRV_REQ_COPY_ON_READ)) !=
BDRV_REQ_PREFETCH)

)

Ah, OK.  I see.  I expected this to be a separate patch.  I still wonder
why it isn’t.
