Subject: [PATCH] RISC-V: Use GCC __builtin_prefetch() to implement prefetch()

 GCC's __builtin_prefetch() was introduced a long time ago, all supported GCC
 versions have it.So this patch is to use it for implementing the prefetch.

 RISC-V Cache Management Operation instructions has been supported by GCC last
 year.you can refer to
 https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/commit/3df3ca9014f94fe4af07444fea19b4ab29ba8e73
 It is worth noting that CPU based on RISC-V should support Zicbop extension.

 This has been already done on other architectures (see the commit:
 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/0453fb3c528c5eb3483441a466b24a4cb409eec5).
