omap4: l2x0: enable instruction and data prefetching

Browse Source 
Enabling L2 prefetching improves performance as shown on Panda
ES2.1 board with mem test, and it has measurable impact on
performances. I think we should consider it, even though it damages
"writes" a bit. (rebased to k.org)
Usually the prefetch is used at both levels together L1 + L2, however,
to enable the CP15 prefetch engines, these are under security, and on
GP devices, we cannot enable it(e.g. on PandaBoard). However, just
enabling PL310 prefetch seems to provide performance improvement,
as shown in the data below (from Ubuntu) and would be a great thing
to pull in.

What prefetch does is enable automatic next line prefetching. With this
enabled, whenever the PL310 receives a cachable read request, it
automatically prefetches the following cache line as well.
