I take it that there are users out there today that are sufficiently
motivated by the increased performance that they just do "wrmsr 0x1a4
0x1234".

You talked about this in the "[Merit]" section. But, that's a _little_
unconvincing. I don't doubt that there is *a* workload out there that
can benefit from hardware prefetcher tweaks.

Do we really expect end users to run their workloads and tweak these
values to find something optimal for them?
