As it is now, -march=native (on k8) and -march=k8 will get consistent results,
that is - both will use 3DNOW prefetchw for *write* prefetches. If this is not
OK, we can now change "prefetch" instruction pattern to always emit SSE
prefetches instead of 3DNOW write prefetch for TARGET_SSE_PREFETCH targets, and
emit prefetchw only for TARGET_PRFCHW.
