SubjectRe: [PATCH] Small optimization for UP in sched and prefetch

We need to merge in __builtin_prefetch support into the kernel, because
gcc 3.1 recently got support for it. It would be nice at least for
future prefetch-related patches to perhaps call __builtin_prefetch, and
have the headers substitute a prefetch if the compiler does not support
it.
