Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

/*
prefetch(x) attempts to pre-emptively get the memory pointed to
by address "x" into the CPU L1 cache.
prefetch(x) should not cause any kind of exception, prefetch(0) is
specifically ok.
prefetch() should be defined by the architecture, if not, the
#define below provides a no-op define.
There are 3 prefetch() macros:
prefetch(x) - prefetches the cacheline at "x" for read
prefetchw(x) - prefetches the cacheline at "x" for write
spin_lock_prefetch(x) - prefectches the spinlock *x for taking
there is also PREFETCH_STRIDE which is the architecure-prefered
"lookahead" size for prefetching streamed operations.

* These cannot be do{}while(0) macros. See the mental gymnastics in
