Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: Kill all prefetch streams on context switch

From: Michael Neuling <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 30 May 2013 15:34:27 +1000

On context switch, we should have no prefetch streams leak from one
userspace process to another.  This frees up prefetch resources for the
next process.

Based on patch from Milton Miller.
