Nit: It'd be great to see before/after numbers and/or an explanation of
how you measured this in the commit message.

Is there any reason to mix net_prefetch (as you have below) with
prefetch and prefetchw ?
IMHO: you should consider using net_prefetch and net_prefetchw
everywhere instead of using both in your code.

Maybe net_prefetch instead, as mentioned above?
