I find this "rte_cldemote" name too close to the Intel instruction,
but I can see no complaint from other arch maintainers, so I guess
everyone is happy with it.
In any case, this is a new API, so it should be marked experimental.

As for unit tests, not sure there is much to do, maybe rename
test_prefetch.c and call this new API too, wdyt?
