I'm not sure if the combination with endmask works in this case:

0 BITS_PER_LONG 2xBITS_PER_LONG
|____________|____________|
| |
MAX_NUMNODES maxnode

endmask will contain bits between 0 and maxnode
but here we want to check bits between MAX_NUMNODES and BITS_PER_LONG
and endmask should not be mixed up with that?
