  To: dev

Adds ethdev driver prefetch of variable structure to CPU cache 0
while calling into tx or rx device driver operation.

RFC 2544 test of NIC task test measurement points show improvement
of lower latency and/or better packet throughput indicating clock
cycles saved.

There are still some spacing issues with this patch.

Bruce, what is your opinion about this prefetch?

Hi Mike,

This patch is sitting on patchwork since 2015 without review, I am updating it
as rejected, if it is still relevant please let us know.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

It is probably the usual MS operation issues, I'll resubmit.

Good idea, but lots of whitespace issues.
