BIT doesn't work on 64-bit numbers (ie, if vdev_id > 31), and it takes a long time to
figure out exactly what it does (try grepping for BIT).  Open-coding means much
easier to fully understand the code.

No, though I like them visually.  It's at least more useful than
the previous placement.

I can respin the patch w/out them and with the == 0 and such.

Thanks,
