> refcount of rx_buffer page will be added here originally, so prefetchw is
> needed, but after commit 1793668c3b8c ("i40e/i40evf: Update code to
> better handle incrementing page count"), and refcount is not added
> everytime, so change prefetchw as prefetch,
> 
> now it mainly services page_address(), but which accesses struct page only
> when WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL or HASHED_PAGE_VIRTUAL is defined
> otherwise it returns address based on offset, so we prefetch it conditionally
> 
> Jakub suggested to define prefetch_page_address in a common header
