Came across this while looking for patches to review. IMO this thread has been hijacked to the point of being not useful for the subject. I suggest this discussion regarding prefetch move to its own thread and this thread and commitfest entry be ended/returned with feedback.
Also IMO, the commitfest is not for early stage idea patches. The stuff on there that is ready for review should at least be thought of by the original author as something they would be willing to commit. I suggest you post the most recent patch and a summary of the discussion to a new thread that hopefully won't be hijacked. Consistent and on-topic replies will keep the topic front-and-center on the lists until a patch is ready for consideration. David J.
