Subject: [PATCH v4 4/7] powerpc/64s/radix: prefetch user address in update_mmu_cache

From: Nicholas Piggin <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2018 20:01:18 +1000

Prefetch the faulting address in update_mmu_cache to give the page
table walker perhaps 100 cycles head start as locks are dropped and
the interrupt completed.
