It clears _PAGE_DIRTY and sets _PAGE_COW.  That is,

if (pte.pte & _PAGE_DIRTY) {
	pte.pte &= ~_PAGE_DIRTY;
	pte.pte |= _PAGE_COW;
}

So, shifting makes resulting code more efficient.

Efficient for what? Is this a hot path?

If not, I'd take readable code any day of the week.


Ok, I will change it to the more readable code as stated earlier.
