Hey all, I'd really love some preliminary feedback on this augmented prefetch patch, 1) so i can have any issues addressed before the merge window closes 2) If the basic patch looks good to folks (subject to some cleanup), I'd like to also see about adding prefetch support on x86 native backend, and fallback NOOP on other architectures. (because its something which shouldn't be llvm only) thanks! -Carter On Tue, Sep 10, 2013 at 1:21 PM, GHC wrote:

Comment (by carter):

one thing i'm worried i'm overlooking, is how do I make sure cmm-lint knows about prefetch op types?

(or is that a none issue)
