93a6085618f16fb2cd316d1e84f1a638b7e2d8ff util/bufferiszero: Remove useless prefetches
Use of prefetching in bufferiszero.c is quite questionable:
- prefetches are issued just a few CPU cycles before the corresponding
line would be hit by demand loads;
- they are done for simple access patterns, i.e. where hardware
prefetchers can perform better;
- they compete for load ports in loops that should be limited by load
port throughput rather than ALU throughput.
