So it flips addr2 bits twice - first with new 'negate', and second
with the existing 'invert'. There is no such combination in the
existing code, but the pattern looks ugly, particularly because we use
different inverting approaches. Because of that, and because XOR trick
generates better code, I'd suggest something like this:

tmp = addr1[start / BITS_PER_LONG] ^ invert1;
if (addr2)
tmp &= addr2[start / BITS_PER_LONG] ^ invert2;
