Probably because -O3 automatically make short functions inline so
local_sb1___flush_cache_all disappears

asm("sb1___flush_cache_all_ipi = local_sb1___flush_cache_all");
^^^^^^^^^I don't know whether this trick is safe for auto-inlining.

as for the problem of adding prefetch to memcpy, I am not famliar with SB1250,
but as of version 2.4.22, arch/mips/lib/memcpy.S already support using MIPS IV 
prefetch
