dpdk: prefetch becomes prefetchw
Changed dpdk-input prefetch of vlib_buffer_t to prefetchw. vlib_buffer_t was being prefetched without 'ownership', which may cause a stall when the buffer is subsequently written to. This saves 4 clocks a packet when the buffer is shared a cross cores, and has no impact when not sharing. Type: improvement Signed-off-by: Ray Kinsella <mdr@ashroe.eu> Change-Id: I317af2a38ef536022e68552351a8507861f62dad
