+	prefetch(x) attempts to pre-emptively get the memory pointed to
+	by address "x" into the CPU L1 cache. 
+	prefetch(x) should not cause any kind of exception, prefetch(0) is
+	specifically ok.
+
+	prefetch() should be defined by the architecture, if not, the 
+	#define below provides a no-op define.	
+	
+	There are 3 prefetch() macros:
+	
+	prefetch(x)  	- prefetches the cacheline at "x" for read
+	prefetchw(x)	- prefetches the cacheline at "x" for write
+	spin_lock_prefetch(x) - prefetches the spinlock *x for taking
+	
+	there is also PREFETCH_STRIDE which is the architecure-preferred 
+	"lookahead" size for prefetching streamed operations.
