Thanks your further help.

But sometimes someone who are not familiar with this case may have no 
choice because something is really tricky.

I doesn't mean I have a problem to write such codes but I think we need 
an unified coding style.
Anyway I can do as you show.

Are you saying this?

        if ( !p2m_is_valid(p2mt) ||
             !mfn_valid(mfn) ||
             (a != p2m_access_rw) )
