[RFC PATCH 0/2] Fix examples/distributor build issue for non x86

Introduced rte_prefetch_non_temporal() to remove IA specific _mm_prefect(addr, 0)
gcc intrinsic and build examples/distributor for non 86 platform

Not sure the rte_prefetch_non_temporal mapping correct for
all the platforms. Architecture maintainers please check the mapping for
rte_prefetch_non_temporal() for specific architecures

[PATCH 1/2] eal: introduce rte_prefetch_non_temporal

[Jerin Jacob]

non-temporal/transient/stream version of rte_prefetch0()

The non-temporal prefetch is intended as a prefetch hint that processor
will use the prefetched data only once or short period,
unlike the rte_prefetch0() function which imply that
prefetched data to use repeatedly.

Is there much performance difference between making this a prefetch NT vs making
it an rte_prefetch0 on the platforms you have tested?

Not much difference. But, I think its worth keep the abstraction as
IA and arm64 architecture supports it.
