Current addr4_match() code has special test for /0 prefixes because of standard required undefined behaviour. However, it is possible to omit it on 64-bit because shifting can be done within a 64-bit register and then truncated to the expected value (which is 0 mask). Implicit truncation by htonl() fits nicely into R32-within-R64 model on x86-64.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
