// If calls to prefetch methods are in a loop, the loop should be cloned
// such that if Prefetch{Scan,Copy}Interval and/or PrefetchFieldInterval
// say not to do prefetching, these methods aren't called.  At the very
// least, they take up a memory issue slot.  They should be implemented
// as inline assembly code: doing an actual call isn't worth the cost.
