[PATCH] ppc64: no prefetch for NULL pointers
For prefetches of NULL (as when walking a short linked list), PPC64 will in some cases take a performance hit. The hardware needs to do the TLB walk, and said walk will always miss, which means (up to) two L2 misses as penalty. This seems to hurt overall performance, so for NULL pointers skip the prefetch alltogether.
