Yeah, you have a point.  Another way to write it is:

   (1 & (access) ? 0xAA : 0) | \
   (2 & (access) ? 0xCC : 0) | \
   (4 & (access) ? 0xF0 : 0)

but I think yours is the best.

I am using const to identify a compile-time constant here, so more like
"static const" (but I was not sure if C optimizes away static const, so
I just used "const").  This explains also the empty line!
