    xen: x86 & generic: change to __builtin_prefetch()
    
    Quoting Andi Kleen in Linux b483570a13be from 2007:
        gcc 3.2+ supports __builtin_prefetch, so it's possible to use it on all
        architectures. Change the generic fallback in linux/prefetch.h to use it
        instead of noping it out. gcc should do the right thing when the
        architecture doesn't support prefetching
    
        Undefine the x86-64 inline assembler version and use the fallback.
    
    ARM wants to use the builtins.
    
    Fix a pair of spelling errors, one of which was from Lucas De Marchi in the
    Linux tree.
