Hi Yi,

I assume you'll map ACLE __p* into variations of Intrinsic::prefetch
in the same way.

If that's so, why do you need to add __builtin_arm_prefetch to either
target? Why not add __pldx as the generic one and get __pld/__pli as
wrappers around that? Is there already usage of such a builtin
elsewhere?

cheers,
