```suggestion
The `cir.prefetch` operation is a hint to the code generator to insert a
prefetch instruction if supported; otherwise, it is a noop. Prefetches
have no effect on the behavior of the program but can change its
performance characteristics.
```
This is copied from the LLVM language reference description of the `llvm.prefetch` intrinsic. It provides a bit more clarity.
