i'm wondering, is the switch_stack at the same/similar place as
next->thread_info? If yes then we could simply do a
prefetch(next->thread_info).
No, they can be up to 30K apart. See include/asm-ia64/ptrace.h.
thread_info is at ~0xda0, depending on the config. The switch_stack
can be as high as 0x7bd0 in the kernel stack, depending on why the task
is sleeping.
Just a minor point, I agree with David: I'd like it to be called
prefetch_task(), because some architecture may want to prefetch other
memory.
