The routine mallocgc retrieves objects from freelists. Prefetch
the object that will be returned in the next call to mallocgc.
Experiments indicate that this produces a 1% improvement when using
prefetchnta and less when using prefetcht0, prefetcht1, or prefetcht2.
Benchmark numbers indicate a 1% improvement over no
prefetch, much less over prefetcht0, prefetcht1, and prefetcht2.
These numbers were for the garbage benchmark with MAXPROCS=4
no prefetch >> 5.96 / 5.77 / 5.89
prefetcht0(uintptr(v.ptr().next)) >> 5.88 / 6.17 / 5.84
prefetcht1(uintptr(v.ptr().next)) >> 5.88 / 5.89 / 5.91
prefetcht2(uintptr(v.ptr().next)) >> 5.87 / 6.47 / 5.92
prefetchnta(uintptr(v.ptr().next)) >> 5.72 / 5.84 / 5.85
