Umm. If I was a compiler, I'd be warning about this. You don't get a 
warning about suggesting parentheses around the '&'?

Also, regardless of lack of warnings, the natural way to do this is to 
just say

	if (res->flags & (IORESOURCE_DISABLED | IORESOURCE_UNSET))
		continue;

which is what any sane compiler would rewrite it to anyway, but since it's 
not just more readable for computers, but for humans too, why not do it 
that way?
