[PATCH] x86_64: prefetchw() can fall back to prefetch() if !3DNOW
This is a multi-part message in MIME format. If the cpu lacks 3DNOW
feature, we can use a normal prefetcht0 instruction instead of NOP5.
"prefetchw (%rxx)" and "prefetcht0 (%rxx)" have the same length, ranging
from 3 to 5 bytes depending on the register. So this patch even helps
AMD64, shortening the length of the code.
