According to AMD's "BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide for AMD NPT Family
0Fh Processors"
(http://support.amd.com/us/Processor_TechDocs/32559.pdf), 0x4B is for
prefetch instructions dispatched, and 0x14B is for the load prefetch
instructions including Pretech and PrefetchT0/T1/T2. No event for the
instructions preteched into L1I cache is found.

Hmm, indeed, its prefetch instructions issues, but not instruction
prefetches, Robert, Andre agreed?
