We know for sure pktgen is going to write skb->data right after
*_alloc_skb, causing unnecessary cache misses.
Idea is to add a prefetchw() call to prefetch the first cache line
indicated by skb->data. On systems with Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch,
it's probably two cache lines are prefetched.
With this patch, pktgen on Intel SR1625 server with two E5530
quad-core processors and a single ixgbe-based NIC went from 8.63Mpps
to 9.03Mpps, with 4.6% improvement.
