MIPS: Use GCC __builtin_prefetch() to implement prefetch().

GCC's __builtin_prefetch() was introduced a long time ago, all
supported GCC versions have it.  Lets do what the big boys up in
linux/prefetch.h do, except we use '1' as the third parameter to
provoke 'PREF 0,...'  and 'PREF 1,...' instead of other prefetch
hints.

This allows for better code generation.  In theory the existing
embedded asm could be optimized, but the compiler has these builtins,
so there is really no point.
