Actually I've changed my mind on this. I think your version is better because the side-effect of rcu_dereference will cause the above assignment to occur twice when i refers to a memory-backed variable.
Since all current prefetch implementations are safe as far as side-effects are concerned, here is an updated version that doesn't do i = foo(i).
Andrew, please replace the previous version with this.
