With ovs_prefetch_range(), large amounts of data can be prefetched in to
caches. Prefetch type gives better control over data caching strategy;
Meaning where the data should be prefetched(L1/L2/L3) and if the data
reference is temporal or non-temporal.

Overall I think this look ok,

Again my only comment would be if people agree with the classification of OPCH_HTR for these calls. Could the hint OPCH_HTR have a different meaning on a different platform or is it expected to be the same across platforms?

This patch doesn't change any functionality.

 On the master
     ovs_prefetch_range()  -->  OVS_PREFETCH(addr)  -->  __builtin_prefetch((addr))  -->  prefetcht0

With the patch
     ovs_prefetch_range(.., OPCH_HTR)  -->  OVS_PREFETCH_CACHE(addr , OPCH_HTR);-->  __builtin_prefetch(addr, 0, 3)  -->  prefetcht0

Please note that __builtin_prefetch(addr)  behaves as __builtin_prefetch(addr, 0, 3)  because with __builtin_prefetch(addr, rw, locality),
 the default value of 'rw' is 0 and 'locality' is '3' when 'rw' and 'locality' aren't explicitly passed to the function.

(Src: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Other-Builtins.html)

So this patch doesn't introduce anything different except that it makes the hint explicit with the new macro implementation.

Regards,
Bhanuprakash.
