The Cortex-A9 has a L1 prefetch capability documented at
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.ddi0388e/Chdejhgd.html:
The Cortex-A9 data cache implements an automatic prefetcher that
monitors cache misses done by the processor. This unit can monitor
and prefetch two independent data streams. It can be activated in
software using a CP15 Auxiliary Control Register bit. See Auxiliary
Control Register.
This commit enables this L1 prefetch feature unconditionally on all
Cortex-A9 by setting bit 2 in the Auxiliary Control CP15
register. Note that since this bit only exists on Cortex-A9 but not on
Cortex-A5 or Cortex-R7, we separate the handling of Cortex-A9 from the
one of those two other cores.
