Eric Dumazet 1c69d921ed [PATCH] rcu: add a prefetch() in rcu_do_batch() 
On some workloads, (for example when lot of close() syscalls are done), RCU
qlen can be quite large, and RCU heads are no longer in cpu cache when
rcu_do_batch() is called.

This patch adds a prefetch() in rcu_do_batch() to give CPU a hint to bring
back cache lines containing 'struct rcu_head's.

Most list manipulations macros include prefetch(), but not open coded ones
(at least with current C compilers :) )

I got a nice speedup on a trivial benchmark (3.48 us per iteration instead
of 3.95 us on a 1.6 GHz Pentium-M)

while (1) { pipe(p); close(fd[0]); close(fd[1]);}
